Trish founded The Bridge Group in 1998. Over nearly three decades, she built it into one of the most established names in B2B revenue consulting—promoting inside sales as a community, a profession, and an engine for revenue growth.

Author Jonathan Franzen once wrote, "One-half of a passion is obsession, the other half is love." Ask anyone who's met Trish, and they'll tell you the same thing: she is passionate about inside sales.

She still says how lucky she feels to work alongside such a talented team helping sales and marketing leaders make their biggest decisions.

In 2026, after 28 years of leadership, Trish stepped back passing the reins to new CEO Kyle Smith. She remains connected to the firm and its work, just no longer running the day-to-day.
