Meet our Director of Operations: Lameh Cortes
We are honored to welcome Lameh Cortes to The Well Collective as our Director of Operations.
Lameh brings a powerful blend of strategic clarity, operational excellence, and deep alignment with our values. In her words, she serves as the “Chief make it make sense officer,” building the engine behind the mission by turning ideas into scalable systems, aligning people with purpose, and ensuring the work moves with intention and impact.
What drew Lameh to The Well Collective?
A shared commitment to integrity and humanity.
A way of working that honors history, culture, and connection.
A place where the mission is not only spoken, it is lived.
She approaches her work with a perspective that holds both present ex*****on and future vision. Strengthening internal systems while helping position The Well Collective for thoughtful, sustainable growth beyond Richmond. Her focus is to honor what exists while building something culturally grounded, creatively driven, and strong enough to grow with purpose.
Outside of her role, Lameh finds joy in sunshine, music, and time outdoors. Whether kayaking, hiking, or reading in her hammock, these moments help her reset and return with clarity. She is currently exploring gardening and learning how growth unfolds with patience and care.
Her inspiration is rooted in her grandmother, whose strength, generosity, and clarity continue to shape how she shows up in the world.
Lameh describes joining The Well Collective as a 'homecoming': A space where her professional experience and personal passions align, and where connection continues to deepen her relationship to the work.
We are grateful to have Lameh helping steward the next chapter of The Well Collective.
