Wielage leaves Spindustry
Therese Wielage, a partner in Spindustry Systems Inc. since December 1998, has sold her interest in the company to partners Michael Bird and Stephen Fry. The deal was finalized this week.
Wielage served as chief marketing officer of Spindustry Interactive, Spindustry Technical Training, Spindustry Staffing and Spin Ventures, and was CEO of the training company. Bird and Fry founded the company in 1996 and Wielage left her on-air job at WHO-TV to join them.
“I’m kind of entrepreneurial in spirit,” said Wielage, 44. “I have 15 years in broadcasting and 10 years on the Web, and I’d like to leverage that experience.” A Waterloo native, Wielage said she plans to remain in Central Iowa.
