Wendy Oliveras, SHESS Global Alliance | Made in America
Meet Wendy Oliveras, founder of SHESS Global Alliance, and the newest feature in our Made in America series. Her story isn’t just inspiring, it’s redefining what it means to build a business that changes lives.
Wendy Oliveras didn’t just build a business.
She built a bridge, from prison walls to entrepreneurial freedom.
As the founder of SHESS Global Alliance, LLC, Wendy helps organizations think bigger, move smarter, and build legacies. But her most powerful work happens behind bars, through her groundbreaking initiative Business Beyond Bars.
After a decade of teaching life skills and entrepreneurship inside New Jersey correctional facilities, Wendy realized: the people society throws away are often the ones with the most potential.
Her mission? Equip them with the tools, mindset, and strategies to write a new ending.
That mission led to the creation of her latest book, Checkmate for the Inmate: From Bars to Business, a practical guide that offers second chances to those ready to take them. Her work isn’t just advisory. It’s deeply human. It’s about forgiveness, future building, and fiercely believing in people others have written off.
For Wendy, entrepreneurship is more than economics.
It’s transformation.
