I’m a Strategist, Impact Innovator, Thought Partner, and Coach.
I'm agile, both a thinker and doer, and seamlessly flow among levels to fill the gaps between vision and execution:
• 30,000 feet: innovative strategy and tenacious creativity
• 10,000 feet: management planning and tactical leadership
• Boots on the ground: tangible, iterative action; bring it to life.

My Super Powers:
I unlock potential (in people and ideas) by harnessing the power of the two F's: FINANCE + FEELINGS.
I joke that I’m a cross between BRENÉ BROWN...
• Sharp, relatable (and sometimes comedic) analysis of our social psychological dynamics at play in any interaction, individually and collectively in our organizations, for the purpose of empowering, coaching, and journeying WITH you.
AND SHARK TANK...

CORE INDUSTRIES:

HOW I CAN HELP YOU:
An overview of the hats I can wear to take you from idea through launch, from concept to tangibility, or from good to even better. I serve those DEPLOYING ASSETS (impact investors, foundations, family offices, etc.) and those BUILDING SOLUTIONS (start-up entrepreneurs, social enterprises, non-profit executives, visionary individuals, etc.).
1) EXECUTIVE STRATEGY COUNSEL
Leadership can be lonely. With C-Suite expertise and being an innovative entrepreneurial thinker, I can be your executive sounding board and coach.
2) LAUNCH STRATEGIST
Starting something new (program, initiative, venture)? I can turn that idea into action, and get the ball rolling. Now.
3) FINANCIAL IMPACT & INVESTMENT STRATEGIST
Do you have capital that you want to activate toward a cause? I can help you get started or navigate the menu of creative financial structures.
4) PITCH COACH
I’ve been a seed state investor and vetted over 600 global enterprises across sectors in one year alone. I can demystify behind the curtain in investors’ and funders’ minds.

Some of my NOTABLE VENTURES:
• Currently building a community venture accelerator and funding platform in my hometown of Atlanta with an intentional focus on low-income entrepreneurs, especially single mothers.
• Co-founded a $5.5 Million global impact investment portfolio with a focus on empowering underserved women--including the investment thesis, social impact thesis, global pipeline across 5 continents, virtual due diligence process, and post-investment advisory for a private foundation seeking to deploy direct private investments of up to $250,000 USD across multiple sectors and emerging markets. In one year alone, I recruited and vetted over 600 global ventures for investment consideration. This portfolio continues running today by my co-founder and makes early-stage investments across Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
• Founding team and program creator for a high-profile public-private partnership between the U.S. and Japanese governments and private industry following the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake to revitalize the region hit by the devastating tsunami. This partnership and its programs continue today with high-level access on Capitol Hill, the Japanese Parliament, and among Fortune 500 companies.

MORE ABOUT ME:
I’m committed to empowering human potential, my own included. I’m a natural connector and catalyst, of people and ideas. From my own journey, I can relate to the deep satisfaction, self-confidence, and societal good that arises when you can remove the blockers (whether emotional, logistical, or financial) to being able to express the compassion that lives in your heart tangibly out in the world.
Whether struggling to scale your business, tackling a need you see in your community, or aligning your financial capital with your personal values and interests, all these paths begin with caring about something enough to want to try to help. I can help you convert that feeling of CARE into effective ACTION.
I thrive in navigating the ambiguity and risk (and exciting possibility) at the early stages of launching new programs, product lines, businesses, investment deals, and career/industry pivots. With my deep compassion for helping others (Enneagram #2) and tenacious strategic creativity, I want to journey with you to catalyze your ideas and impact in the world.

MY VALUES:
My relationships with clients are like all relationships I cherish in my personal life, built on trust. I value integrity, authenticity, transparency, deep listening, and self-awareness. If I’m not the right person to help you, I’ll do my best to point you elsewhere.
