Wilkinson founded Athena with a mission to be a force for positive change.

Athena is also proud to support many initiatives for both Subaru and Comcast, clients who share in this mission. Other notable work includes an engagement to organize Philadelphia’s 2026 FIFA World Cup bid.

Driven by giving back to the community, Wilkinson currently sits on the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s Corporate Executive Board and the City Year Philadelphia Board. Wilkinson was also a member of the working group for the 10th principle of the United Nations Global Compact. And Athena has an ongoing partnership with the Eastern District of Pennsylvania’s Supervision to Aid Reentry (STAR).
