I help mission-driven leaders scale their impact by reducing risk and unlocking earned revenue.

For five years at companies like Intuit and TaxAct, I led product teams that turned customer insights into revenue. I learned how to pitch for million-dollar budgets, navigate corporate product development, and ship things people actually wanted to use.

While at Stanford's Graduate School of Business, I explored social innovation and how impact orgs operate. I learned how different their culture and constraints are compared to corporate. I piloted a wellness marketplace for underserved BIPOC communities through my venture Lytework and redesigned a business planning app for low-income entrepreneurs at an education nonprofit in Oakland. Shortly after, I built AI-powered tools for housing assistance at Community Economic Defense Project.

Working alongside these organizations taught me that even the strongest missions need diverse revenue streams. Philanthropy and government contracts fund critical work, but relying on them exclusively creates serious risk, the type of risk that bleeds into staff wellbeing and creates burnout. As I observed the weight that financial burden has on impact leaders and their orgs, I realized I'd seen this before.

I grew up in King and Queen County, Virginia, where financial instability shaped everything—households, communities, entire systems. My mom raised five kids on a $25K salary. My community was low-income, my high school was unaccredited, and career prospects were limited. When I started a scholarship and mentorship program for students back home, I learned that financial pressure didn't just constrain resources—it shaped what people believed was possible.

The same is true for impact organizations. Being able to sufficiently support your staff and infrastructure is mission-critical to serving your community. Financial stability sustains missions and allows impact to scale.

I'm looking forward to helping more organizations build financial resilience. Ready for a new era for your organization? Let's talk.
