Beth Foister

Director of Finance

Beth Foister originally from Detroit, obtained her Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering at Wayne State University. As a Chemical Engineer Beth worked for Great Lakes Steel Company, 3M, Dow – Essex Specialty Products, and Lear Seating in roles ranging from environmental protection, color matching and development, R&D for automotive sealants, and adhesives and product and process optimization.

During college, Beth tried rock climbing, it turned out to be a sport she loved because it puts people out of their comfort zone and offers creative problem-solving, where you have to strategize and plan ahead. She took that passion and focused it on opening and running an indoor rock-climbing gym. After 11 years in business, Beth was ready to move on and sold her interest in the gyms and moved to the Southeast where she now serves as a business advisor to business owners, utilizing her combined experience as a Chemical/Process Engineer and a recovering entrepreneur, to help business owners avoid hardship and pitfalls.
