I LAUNCH ventures. 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... • Business savvy and tenacious strategic creativity to bring entrepreneurial and financial solutions to life through innovative early-stage investment, business development, and landscape analysis. -- CORE INDUSTRIES: • Impact Investing (values-aligned investment strategy) • Social Enterprise (entrepreneurship, new initiative launch) • Catalytic Philanthropy (creative funding models for social impact) • Financial Sustainability (business modeling, development strategy) -- 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 stage 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.

TechStars Mentor | Startup and Accelerator Advisor | London Business School MBA | $900M+ in Pre-seed to Series C+ Raises | Top-rated Investor Pitch Deck & Fundraising Specialist Did you know that only 1% of startups land funding? Founders quickly learn that developing a strong pitch is time consuming and incredibly difficult. When they do hit the road, they find that investors are almost always unresponsive, misaligned, or respond negatively. But this doesn’t have to be you. I help business founders and owners stand out from the crowd, engage with the right investors, and accelerate the fundraising process through: ・𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗸𝘀 that win attention. A bespoke design or redesign that combines deep expertise and proprietary methodologies to tell your story with clarity, credibility, and impact. ・𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 that works. Maximize your fundraising efficiency and success with custom-researched investors whose interests and track records align with your business. ・𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 that converts. Targeted messaging, investor Q&A prep, and strategic guidance to drive connections and start conversations. Trying to navigate fundraising on your own is like learning plumbing to fix a major home issue - hire a plumber instead. Work with me to save time, effort, frustration, and exponentially boost your chances of a successful raise. I personally work on all of my engagements, so I only have bandwidth for a limited number of clients who are serious about raising capital. Message me now for a quick chat and let's see if we have a fit - this conversation just might shape the future of your business.

🚀 Harnessing over a decade of deep technical immersion in AI-driven media management, I stand at the forefront of AI automation, specializing in crafting cutting-edge algorithms tailored for the media and entertainment sectors. At the core of my expertise lies the fusion of deep learning, natural language processing, and media workflow optimization. 🛠️ One of my marquee achievements includes the creation of an advanced integration tool for Iconik. This tool leverages the prowess of Rev AI to transcribe vast content libraries seamlessly. Once transcribed, the content is dispatched to ChatGPT for sophisticated processing. In cases where transcriptions exceed character limits, my proprietary solution employs recursive technology, channeling the transcription through a recursive summarization funnel ensuring content integrity and precision. 💡 Throughout my career, I've been hands-on with a plethora of languages and tools, from Python and Java to TensorFlow and Keras. My technical mastery spans not just the development of algorithms but also the application of scikit-learn, pandas, and other machine learning libraries. These technical endeavors directly empowered iconic entities like the Orlando Magic, Mass Appeal, and the Minnesota Vikings to redefine how they manage and distribute media assets. 🤝 If you're seeking an AI virtuoso with a profound technical acumen, well-versed in marrying technology with media-centric challenges, let's collaborate to sculpt the future of media management.

Words are not “text.” Language is not “copy.” Writing is not “reporting.” When we design language, rather than simply write copy, what we communicate transcends the ordinary. If we breathe life into language, if we give it anima, then we give it gravity, we give it a chance to exist beyond the page and perhaps to live forever and be never forgotten. Our mission, then, is not to “write copy,” but it is to create with profundity our own mythology, our own legends, our own story and then to carry this through everywhere, whether that is website, blog, social content, pitch deck, white-paper, internal materials, marketing or other. If we empower ourselves with language then we empower our brands and our communiqué to go out and into the world and become something greater than words on a page or a screen. By education, I am a fiction writer. But professionally my career has taken me through so many iterations of creating words and ideas for all manner of businesses with all manner of identities: some classic, straightforward and in need of clear and linear language, others outside the box, philosophical, abstract, and ethereal. Every brand and every company and every idea are different and have their own demands, their own spirits, their own identities. What we do is not simply translate ideas into sentences, but we labor to sculpt language into a higher conceptual form that it may represent the deepest and most profound expression of who you are, who your company is, what your core ideals and philosophies are and in the way that will best communicate these to your target audience.

Financial and business consulting can be tricky, both for the client and the consultant. Matching need with qualifications is the easy part. What is typically implied, but in many cases either overlooked or fails to materialize are two simple, but vital missions. Without them, the project will not achieve its highest potential: 1) MANAGE CLIENT EXPECTATIONS and 2) COMMUNICATION. My background is simple: - 40-years experience in finance and accounting. - I've earned the education & credentials: Chartered Financial Analyst, past-Certified Public Accountant, MBA. - I am an ex-Big 4 public accounting audit manager. I know how to ask questions and get directly to what you need accomplished. - Spent 30+ years on Wall Street analyzing and evaluated thousands of financials of publicly traded companies in every industry. Stories, good and bad, hide among large sets of numbers. I am skilled to find them, analyze them and present them fairly, accurately and attractively. - I excel in Financial Planning & Analytics. This includes: 1) Working Capital/Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Analysis, 2) Conducting historical trend analysis to identify important macro economic impacts and/or potential inefficiencies to revenue and expense lines, and using data to create effective projections, 3) Profit margin analysis by Business Line or Product Set to assess if margins are being maximized, 4) Cost efficiency analysis (do you have best in class services being provided at fair prices)? 5) Budget planning and variance analysis by department and company-wide, 6) Customized Dashboard Report design that delivers critical data to every level of the organization, 7) Capital expenditure and investment management analysis and planning. - Finally, I may be the best analytical presenter of data that is available in the marketplace. I've made hundreds of boardroom presentations; possessing a unique ability to present complicated processes and data to decision makers while allying credibility and confidence.
