Engineering, Product Development and Manufacturing

Local Black Entrepreneurs, Business Owners, Educational and Lending Institutions Team Up to Present the Second Annual “Black In Business” Event To Help Aspiring Black Entrepreneurs and Black Business Owners Succeed.

I’m an entrepreneur at heart. I’m here to help you start or grow your business. I’ve been in your shoes having sought the help of SCORE when I first started my business. I’ve seen a lot in my 20+ years since that I can draw on to help you navigate the entrepreneurial journey. My areas of expertise include: product development, sourcing and manufacturing, licensing, physical retail, e-commerce, tourism, overnight rentals, conventions, event planning, finance, cash flow, corporate structure, tax planning and public relations.

A mentoring session is a confidential, personalized conversation with a business expert to answer a question or to solve a problem that you’re facing.

As an entrepreneur, I have experienced the highs and lows of owning my own business and I understand the stress, financial commitment, and dedication it takes to do this. I fumbled through the early stages alone and hope to prevent others from making the same mistakes. I am comfortable with helping all phases of a small business but I particularly enjoy developing a frictionless e-commerce site, marketing, logistics, product development, retail product placement, and media relations (including an appearance on ABC’s Shark Tank).

My work experience has been broad and extends from front line developer to VP C-level, including technical product management, product marketing, strategic and tactical planning, startup business development, startup fundraising, executive and team leadership, information services and technology management, software and hardware development, customer service management, call center management, international logistics and shipping, international joint venture company operations, and military service.
