Halcyon

Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer

As Chief Operating Officer, I spearheaded strategy, operations, marketing and fundraising for the S&R Foundation. The Foundation's mission is to support talented individuals with great potential and high aspirations in the arts and sciences, especially those who are furthering international cultural collaboration. It is an amazing organization, run by an inspiring leader. I really enjoyed the breadth and diversity of my role, and under my leadership, S&R more than tripled in size, revenue, and impact.

During my 4 year tenure with S&R I conceived, developed, and implemented new programs, including the Halcyon Incubator, and Illuminate salon series, as well as oversaw impactful, and capacity-building new partnerships with the Washington Ballet, Duke Ellington, and Deloitte to name just a few. I designed and executed two new events, the S&R Washington Awards Gala, and Night Nouveau - both made a profit by their second year, and were dubbed "must-attend" by Washington Life and Washington Post. I also developed and lead a new honorary board, and other committees, to manage selection, help with strategy, advocacy, and fundraising.

In 2016, I helped Dr. Sachiko Kuno and Sheila C. Johnson establish WE Capital, a consortium of leading businesswomen in the Washington, D.C. region that invests in and supports women and women-led companies, inspiring the next generation of female entrepreneurs while providing opportunity for the investors to achieve their investment goals.
