Strategic & Operational Planning
Turning vision into a plan a team can actually run — goals, roadmaps, and the operating cadence that keeps momentum from leaking out between meetings.
Work & Experience
Strategy, operations, and the systems that scale a mission.
A decade of building — from an HBCU accounting foundation to the heart of Detroit's innovation economy. Here's what I bring, and where I've brought it.
What I bring
Capabilities
The core of how I help organizations grow with discipline.
Program Management & Implementation
Designing and delivering programs end to end, from concept to launch to measurement — the discipline that turns a good idea into a repeatable result.
Ecosystem & Community Building
Connecting founders, investors, institutions, and talent into a network that compounds — the relationship infrastructure a thriving tech scene runs on.
Fractional Business Support
Embedded, part-time operating leadership for universities, non-profits, and early-stage startups that need senior judgment without a full-time hire.

Work with me
Embarc Business Consulting
Fractional business support and strategic guidance for the organizations moving the mission forward.
- Strategic planning & operating cadence
- Program design, launch & management
- Business operations & process build-out
- Ecosystem strategy & partnership development
Embarc exists for a specific moment: when an organization's ambition has outgrown its operations. Universities launching new initiatives, non-profits scaling their programs, mission-driven founders building the first version of everything at once — the vision is there, but the operating engine isn't yet.
That's the work. I embed as a part-time operating partner — bringing the strategy, the systems, and the steady execution to turn intent into something that runs. Senior judgment, without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.
Building something that needs an operator?
If your organization's ambition has outgrown its operations, let's talk about what fractional support could look like.
