As founder of Alice, the intelligent business advisor for entrepreneurs, I serve as an advocate for inclusive entrepreneurship. I work alongside governments, corporations, foundations and ecosystem builders to connect women, minority, veteran and other underrepresented entrepreneurs to the capital, resources, mentors and partners needed to fuel their growth. An entrepreneur myself, I've helped raise billions of dollars in capital through my work as an investment banker for JPMorgan and as founder of Cake Communications, an interactive marketing agency serving companies around the world. I currently serve as a board member for the Texas A&M Mays College of Business, a United Nations Global Accelerator delegate, and TEDx speaker. Other honors include an American Express Micro to Millions award, Sam Walton Emerging Entrepreneur, Entrepreneur Magazine 2016 "Woman to Watch" and Inc. Magazine "17 Inspiring Women of 2017." I've also testified before the Congressional Committee on Small Business in a hearing titled, "“Empowering Small Businesses: The Accelerator Model” in May 2017. Fast Company named Alice's accelerator, Circular Board, "The Fastest-Growing Accelerator for Women and Minorities."
