In 2010, in partnership with Dominique Love, Feichter launched the Atlanta Food & Wine Festival, a celebration of the rich food and beverage traditions of the South. Since its inception, the Festival has been acclaimed as one of the best, most well-run food and beverage events, receiving rave reviews from the media, guests and industry leaders, and has been called the only “indispensable” food event in the country. Atlanta Food & Wine is a culinary experience like no other, created to unite leaders of their craft, from barbeque pit masters, award-winning chefs and beverage leaders, to Master Sommeliers, fry cooks and local growers, in the spirit of celebrating and showcasing Southern food and drink and promoting Southern history and culture. As the COO and Founder, Feichter is dedicated to ensuring seamless production, logistics, financial management and operations of the company.

In March 2015, Feichter and long-time business partner, Dominique Love, joined forces with the IWSC Group out of the United Kingdom to launch the company’s North American headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. Recognized as one of the most respected events companies in the world, IWSC focuses on the alcohol beverage industry and is dedicated to building a broad portfolio of events around the world to help bring brands and people together in the best environment to create long-lasting relationships. As the company’s COO, Feichter is committed to growing IWSC’s unique portfolio of events, in North America, through acquisitions that will showcase innovative, unique, and respected programming and experiences for guests, industry leaders and sponsors. By assembling this strong group of events and ensuring each maintains its unique identity, while drawing strength from the skills, expertise and success of the others in the portfolio, IWSC Group North America will continue to be recognized as one of the most respected leaders in the events industry.

In January 2006, Feichter joined the Corporate Community Outsourcing team as a partner who brought extensive experience in nonprofit management. Years of experience working with nonprofits like Hands On Atlanta, Outward Bound and the Atlanta Botanical Garden allowed Feichter to become a skilled fundraiser, volunteer manager, special event expert and project leader. As the COO of Corporate Community Outsourcing, she brought a track record of success in leading non-profit organizations in: developing and implementing major donor programs; managing high-level corporate partnerships; examining, creating and implementing annual and strategic plans; marketing, communications and public relations; hiring, managing and developing staff and volunteers. Her background encompasses extensive experience in financial and fundraising management, event production, and program development.
