Rebecca Adams Savage brings her cross-functional understanding of design, business and law to Wildwood as it cultivates the most luxurious yet approachable caramels and chocolates. Her years of experience as Director of Operations and General Counsel for successful early stage companies coupled with her past as an artist informs her management of Wildwood as the company blazes new trails in a burgeoning domestic craft confections market. Rebecca ensures Wildwood creates the highest quality most beautiful products that uphold the values and standards which reflect the beauty and preservation of nature, while strategically guiding the company through challenging externalities.

Savage grew up working in her father’s small manufacturing business and studied environmental studies and fine art, specializing in oil painting, during her liberal arts undergraduate education. This unique background coupled with her experience as a lawyer and in various aspects of business operations pours into Wildwood each and every day. The result is an aesthetically and culinarily revolutionary confections brand with an ethos of environmental sustainability and a solid business foundation.
