I am co-founder of the digital ecosystem for entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs and other achievers, called Achieve Beyond! and founder and owner of Loyalty Alliance Inc.Achieve Beyond! is a B2B ecosystem revolving around an inclusive and secure website for entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, and other achievers. Included as one of the many services unique to the site is something we call the “Business Fairy Godmother. That’s me! In this role, I grant wishes. While the wishes, as you can imagine, run the gambit from personal to business [when I offer people to tell me their wish I never know what they will say!] most frequently I connect achievers/entrepreneurs with business and/or charitable resources that enable them to achieve what is important to them. What wish can I grant for you today? When I am not granting wishes, I build and run my businesses and offer Essential Solutions to entrepreneurs via the Achieve Beyond website. The Essential Solutions I provide include business and personal insurance, risk management and wealth preservation, business profit recovery, and lending.Prior to founding Loyalty Alliance in 2003, I held key positions in merchant banking, merger arbitrage, venture capital, investment banking, and wealth advisory services at numerous prestigious financial institutions.I also have the following professional designations and advanced academic credentials: Certified Wealth Preservation Planner; Certified Financial Planner™; Trusts & Estates Practitioner; Chartered Financial Consultant; Registered Employee Benefits Consultant; Chartered Life Underwriter; Certified in Long Term Care; Registered Health Underwriter; BA in History and MA in Social Studies from the University at Albany; and MBA-Finance from the NYU Stern School of Business. I also hold insurance licenses that enable me to address multiple risk management needs utilizing domestic and international resources. A native New Yorker, I am a proud member of the National Arts Club and Penn Club and serve on the Executive Committee of the Foreign Press Association and the Board of Governors of the Foreign Press Foundation. I am a former competitive ballroom dancer and hold the appointment of Special Advocate to the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association (MLBPAA).I invite you to explore Achieve Beyond! and contact me if you would like to be a guest blogger, be featured in ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND EMPOWERMENT, list your business as an Essential Solution, or if you have any wish the magical powers of a Business Fairy Godmother can grant.
