Liza Rodewald

Liza Rodewald is co-founder and CEO of Instant Teams, the remote talent marketplace tackling one of the most stubborn problems facing the military community: military spouse unemployment. Founded in 2016 with fellow active-duty military spouse Erica McMannes, Instant Teams builds remote customer-experience teams for companies of all sizes while creating meaningful careers for military spouses who face repeated relocations. An engineer-turned-CEO and Army spouse raising four children, she raised the company's seed funding remotely from Hawaii and has since secured more than $16 million in venture capital, landing #13 on the Inc. 5000.
