CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Wallace Fischer joined Jamaica Cottage Shop in 2019 having accrued 16 years in financial services, 8 years in the startup industry preceded by 10 years in the banking and financial sectors. He started as the comptroller here and brings a lengthy career as a resource to help nurture Jamaica Cottage Shop into a multi-generational presence in Southern Vermont.
A native Nebraskan, Wallace now resides in Londonderry with his wife of 39 years Cathy after several years in the Boston, MA area. They have two sons, a daughter in law and our first granddaughter who take up a large part of their lives. Living in Vermont comes full circle for both as Cathy also grew up in rural upstate New York.
He is closely tied to charitable efforts around cerebral palsy and autism, both of which have had an impact on his immediate and extended family.
