I am driven by my purpose which is to elevate leaders that aspire to be agents of change and innovation. I always look to challenge the status quo, advocate for progress and find ways to level the playing field so that leaders from diverse backgrounds can have a seat at the table and a platform to be seen and heard.
More specifically, as the Founder of Futura Funds, I coach female entrepreneurs to:
1) Grow & scale by preparing the company for investment raises and by connecting them to their ideal capital partners
2) Stay ahead of the curve by adopting an innovation mindset to continually unlock new opportunities
3) Overcome challenges and navigate mindset roadblocks they face through individual and group coaching programs
My overall aim is to support founders throughout their entrepreneurial journey by giving them the tools, resources and advice they need to succeed.
As a commercial real estate professional, I also advise corporate clients on how to develop strategies and next practices on how to innovate and integrate technology into their companies.
I bring a unique lens to the conversation surrounding the intersection of commercial real estate and technology. Having worked in the industry in an investment, development and finance capacity for many years to now working closely with innovative technology companies I understand both parties and strive to find ways to collaborate and move forward together. I believe that technology and innovation will be instrumental in the industry's ability to continue to drive growth and unlock value from its assets. I also understand the importance of diversity when it comes to innovation for the built world and how diversity of thought, background, ethnicity, age and gender are so integral in building bright, inclusive and prosperous communities globally.
I leverage over 15 years of finance, accounting and advisory experience where I have helped business owners in the real estate industry make strategic financial decisions to reach their company goals. I’ve worked for both a large property owner, manager and developer as well as a private equity fund, which allows me to understand and support the financial strategies for established, institutional, large-scale business environments as well as the needs of small, mid-sized and start-up businesses.
I am also very passionate and committed to supporting Diversity & Inclusion initiatives and speak on this topic regularly at industry events & conferences.
I am the host of the Futura Talks Podcast where we share the stories and journeys of self-made female entrepreneurs who are trailblazers in their industries.
