technology executive.
Founder.
Speaker.
I'm a technology executive, entrepreneur, and speaker with over 20 years of experience leading IT operations, shaping technology strategy, and helping organizations navigate complex challenges. My work brings together technology leadership, business, and community, with a focus on solving real problems, creating opportunities, and making a meaningful impact.
ways to work with me
I work with businesses, organizations, and leadership teams that need experienced technology guidance, whether that's fractional executive leadership, IT strategy, operational improvements, or support navigating a major initiative. I also collaborate on speaking engagements, entrepreneurship, and community-centered projects.
I speak on inclusive entrepreneurship, Black queer business ownership, technology, identity, and building work that actually feels aligned. Available for panels, workshops, fireside chats, corporate Pride programming, and community-centered events.
With over 20 years of IT leadership experience, I help organizations navigate complex technology challenges, strengthen operations, manage risk, and drive transformation through fractional CIO leadership, executive advisory services, and strategic technology consulting.
I help brands and organizations connect their story, values, and audience in a way that feels honest and intentional. This work is especially aligned for community-centered businesses, LGBTQ+ initiatives, creative projects, and mission-driven teams.
