My experiences with poverty, childhood abuse, sexual assault and other forms of violence have taught me that there’s a lot of inequality in the world.

But my personal experiences in seeing how my family pulled themselves out of poverty and my professional experience working with hundreds of business owners have taught me that entrepreneurship can be a powerful vehicle for greater economic equality and social change.

It’s why I’m so committed to using all the lessons and insights I’ve gained from my corporate experience to help entrepreneurs build successful businesses so that they can continue to empower themselves, their families and their communities.
