About Us
Teresa Mendel, President
The Go To Gals, LLC was conceived when Teresa experienced first-hand the daily struggles many people face today in balancing the responsibilities of raising young children, being a supportive wife to a busy executive, serving as a professional volunteer and running her own company. Continually listening to friends and family speak of all their “to-do’s” on a regular basis, confirmed to Teresa that there was a need for assistance with small businesses and families alike and her passion to help others kicked in.
She brings with her a myriad of executive/entrepreneur skills with over twenty years experience working in the banking industry, in accounting and finance, retail management arena, and in the legal field for two prestigious law firms; one in Santa Barbara where she once lived, and the other in Denver. Teresa knows what it takes to get the job done and always goes above and beyond expectation.
Being a multi-tasker and overflowing with an abundance of energy, creativity and attention to detail, Teresa has donated her time to local non-profit organizations, served on various committees and operated a small gift shop as manager, creating beautiful window displays, along with researching and purchasing unique, one-of-a-kind items to attract patrons, all while training new management. The Go To Gals, LLC allows Teresa to continue to reach out to others while helping them balance the pressures of work and personal life.
Jill Friedentag Fishman
Jill, a Denver native, brings a plethora of knowledge when it comes to resources, contacts and creativity. After spending ten years (two of which were Super Bowls) with the Denver Broncos as Executive Assistant to the General Manager, she utilized her prior hotel sales and catering skills to create her own personal concierge and event planning business, Jill of All Trades. Being “The Go To Gal” for all the players, coaches, and their families, Jill honed in on the needs associated with relocating to the area. Wanting to help people is a natural quality that she possesses, therefore she assisted them with everything from A-Z.
Whether it was arranging for a marriage proposal, researching a nanny service, planning all aspects of a get-away, securing concert tickets, organizing a holiday party, selecting gifts, chartering a plane, addressing fan mail, or something as simple as making appointments, Jill did it all…and then some.
Taking a break, so to speak, from the business world, Jill served as President of the Temple Sinai Sisterhood for over five years. It is there that she and Teresa worked endlessly as volunteers doing events and fundraisers. Their friendship flourished as they worked side-by-side achieving the goals that were set. Now, they have joined together on a professional level to offer first-class services from the ordinary to the extraordinary!
