I am a serial problem solver, operator, and trusted advisor, deeply immersed in marketing, technology, entrepreneurship, and capital innovation. Starting my career journey at Georgia State University, I swiftly moved through innovative roles, from launching marketing technology solutions for Silverpop's clients—later acquired by IBM—to crafting cutting-edge marketing technologies for entertainment giants like Sony Pictures, Disney, and Dreamworks.In 2014, I co-founded Goodie Nation, serving as board co-chair to boost access to opportunities and capital for entrepreneurs building solutions to global challenges. My dedication to empowering small businesses took a transformative turn in 2017 when I became Georgia's first Google Digital Coach. Over six years, I empowered nearly six thousand small and medium-sized companies with digital skills and strategies to drive growth and operational efficiency.Drawing on insights from coaching thousands of entrepreneurs, I recognized the critical barrier of capital access, prompting me to co-found Collab Capital in 2019. During my tenure at Collab, I extended my influence into capital access by co-creating the SPACE agreement while deploying over $50 million to market-making Black-led companies, further solidifying myself as a trusted investor and advisor within the venture capital ecosystem.My vision for an equitable economic future persists, even though the mission continues to evolve. I invite you to join me in weaving together capital, the full potential of entrepreneurs, and the transformational power of technology to create an equitable future for all.
