Winona Bechtle is a Los Angeles-based creative strategist, producer, and partnership builder working at the intersection of culture and community.

For the past decade, she has helped turn ambitious ideas into experiences and growth. At Bob Baker Marionette Theater, she has helped steward the evolution of one of LA’s most beloved cultural institutions– producing large-scale events, building partnerships with brands including Apple, Spotify, Marvel, and Gucci, and helping grow annual fundraising from $10K to more than $2M.

Her work extends from cultural institutions to the agency world. As Head of Business Development at Bald Agency, she led new business across brand, campaign, digital, and experiential work, pursuing engagements from $100K to $1M+ and helping steward a pipeline worth more than $50M.

Across it all, Winona is most interested in the unexpected connections that make creative work resonate. A lifelong student of Los Angeles, she spends her free time watching LOTS of movies, exploring the city, and gardening in Glendale.
