Ohio has a unique combination of talent, resources, and community spirit that makes it an exciting place to invest. The state’s rich history in manufacturing and innovation, paired with its growing focus on technology and entrepreneurship, creates incredible opportunities. I believe Ohio is becoming a major hub for building impactful businesses and driving economic growth.

I have over 25 years of experience in finance, strategy, and operations, working with businesses at all stages of growth. I have provided financial leadership to early-stage companies, helping them turn their visions into practical strategies for growth. I have also helped more established organizations improve their processes and financial insights, boosting their performance. Although I am not originally from Ohio, I am excited by the entrepreneurial energy here and look forward to using my skills to support local startups and innovative ventures.

The O.H.I.O. Fund is creating a pathway for entrepreneurs to thrive while bringing new energy to the local economy. It’s creating a unique platform that brings together investors, entrepreneurs, and resources into a coordinated effort to drive meaningful impact. By uniting this network, the fund is ensuring that opportunities are maximized and investments are more strategic and aligned. This collaborative approach will strengthen Ohio’s economy, foster innovation, and position the state as a leader in entrepreneurship and sustainable growth.
