Beth Santos is the Founder and CEO of Wanderful and the creator of WITS. The idea came to her while cruising her blue motorcycle through the streets of São Tomé and Príncipe — and she hasn't stopped building since.

Today, Wanderful is a global community of 40,000 women travelers and travel creators who show up for each other and for the world. Beth is also the author of solo travel guide and manifesto Wander Woman, and the force behind the Bessie Awards and She Shapes History NYC. Business Insider named her one of 17 changemakers shaping the future of travel. Condé Nast Traveller named her one of 12 women to follow. In 2022, she was named Godmother of the Azamara Onward cruise ship.

A Wellesley alum with a Kellogg MBA, she also co-owns Ula Cafe, a community hub in Boston's Jamaica Plain. She lives nearby with a house full of pets, three kids, and a husband — also known as the founder of MITS (which does not, in fact, exist yet).
