Our
Story
Get to Know Us
Waban Impact LLC, influenced by Lake Waban at our founder's alma mater, Wellesley College, draws its name from the Alogaonquin language where 'Waban' means wind. Rooted in this rich symbolism, we are driven to be the catalyst for societal change, guiding our clients to scale their influence. Much like the wind that sweeps over Lake Waban, we aim to bring a breath of fresh, purposeful energy to every endeavor, fostering growth and sustainable impact.
