McHale comes to Digiday from Econsultancy, where she was director of sales for a global community of over 100,000 online marketers, publishers and e-commerce professionals. While there, Wendy successfully led the expansion of the U.S. market by developing new business in the areas of training, advertising, research and event sales.

Before joining Econsultancy, McHale served as publisher of The Madison Avenue Journal, a trade e-zine that focuses on the impact that digital media has on the advertising and digital content business. She was also a co-founder and president of Madison Avenue Consultants, a digital strategy company.
