The Bolder Company
Founded by Ellen Feldman Ornato and Jenny Drescher, The Bolder Company is not your average communications firm. More than that, The Bolder Company combines fully experiential, improvisation-based learning with grounded, outcomes-focused content to help instill the confidence, clarity, ease, and power needed for emerging leaders and executives. “Improv isn’t just a form of entertainment — it’s a tool. It opens doors to new ways of thinking and learning,” says Ellen. The firm’s unique mission is to create lasting behavioral change that empowers manufacturing businesses to thrive.
Opportunity
In 2019, Ellen and Jenny attended a Key4Women event, where they connected with KeyBank. Little did they know this connection would become vital for their business. When The Bolder Company began to grapple with the challenges of the pandemic, KeyBank stepped in and provided the essential financial backing and strategic advice needed to guide them to success. “Our connection with Key4Women marked a transformative point, bringing opportunities and valuable connections at a crucial time,” Jenny noted.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that without Key4Women, The Bolder Company might not be here today.

Results
With the full support of both Key4Women and KeyBank behind them, The Bolder Company could not only survive the pandemic but thrive — furthering its reach and fulfilling its mission of creating lasting behavioral change. Their experience has enabled Ellen and Jenny to connect with a broader audience (even internationally), enhance their training programs, and foster a cultural movement of dynamic and memorable learning. “It’s not an exaggeration to say that without Key4Women, The Bolder Company might not be here today,” Ellen said.
