From Founder to Systems and Process Architect
A career built on learning, innovating, disseminating and transforming
My professional journey as an organizational transformation and ecosystem strategist is a story told in systems and innovation. I began as an EdTech founder in 2012, establishing the first online school in St. Kitts and Nevis and creating an ecosystem of teaching and learning for Caribbean adult learners whose formal education was cut short by unfortunate life circumstances.
From my doctoral research in Technology Entrepreneurship to launching and scaling ventures for hundreds of entrepreneurs, I have been driven by one question: what are the fundamental structures that separate a great idea from a lasting, high-growth enterprise?
The answer is always found in the ecosystem. As a founder, I navigated the complex interplay of capital, talent, and mentorship. As a consultant for organizations like the World Bank, UNESCO, and the Caribbean Development Bank, I designed the very programs that empower entrepreneurs to thrive. As Programme Director of the multi-million dollar SEED Government Venture Capital Program, I provided $30,000 to $50,000 USD in patient capital to entrepreneurs at 0% interest with no collateral, proving that when you combine strategic capital with ecosystem support, transformational growth is possible.
This deep, hands-on experience has shaped my mission as an organizational transformation and ecosystem strategist. Today, I don’t just build a single venture. I partner with leaders to architect the thriving ecosystems that allow hundreds of ventures, teams, and communities to succeed through innovative systems that support leadership and governance transformations in the public and private sectors that are sustainable and impactful.
A Practice Built on Three Pillars of Transformation
My work as an organizational transformation and ecosystem strategist is grounded in decades of experience and a commitment to global standards, including my training in ISO 20700:2017 Guidelines for Management Consultancy Services. I help organizations navigate profound change by focusing on three interconnected areas:
1. Strategic Process Re-engineering
rue efficiency isn’t about working harder; it’s about having better systems. I partner with leadership teams to diagnose and redesign the core processes that drive their organization. Drawing on my experience leading Business Process Re-engineering for over 150 MSMEs, partnering with public sector departments and ministries, and my certification as a Professional Scrum Master, I help you implement agile, tech-enabled workflows built for the challenges of tomorrow.
What This Looks Like:
•Transformation audits to identify critical friction points
•Agile workflow redesign for speed and efficiency
•KPI and OKR system design for measurable results
2. Leadership & Governance Architecture
A new system requires a new way of leading. As the creator of the accredited RARE Transformational Leadership Framework© and current Chair of the Board of Governors for a regional college, I have deep, practical understanding of effective governance. I work with public and private sector leaders, from government Permanent Secretaries to corporate CEOs, to install new “operating systems” for leadership, ensuring they have the framework to guide their teams through complexity with confidence.
What This Looks Like:
•RARE Leadership Framework© implementation
•Governance model design for boards and institutions
•Transformational change leadership coaching and training
3. Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Development
Building the infrastructure for innovation is my foundational passion. As the creator of the copyrighted High-Growth Entrepreneurship Roadmap© and former Programme Director of the multi-million dollar SEED Government Venture Capital Program, I have designed national-level entrepreneurship programs, coached over 1,000 founders, and proven that patient capital combined with strategic ecosystem architecture creates lasting impact. Today, I work with government leaders, economic development agencies, and educational institutions to design incubators, foster corporate-startup partnerships, and build the fertile ground where the next generation of entrepreneurs can thrive.
What This Looks Like:
•Ecosystem audits and strategy design
•Incubator and accelerator program development
•Corporate-startup partnership facilitation

Latest Insight: Why “Scared Capital” is Killing Caribbean Innovation
Excerpt: The Caribbean attracted just $215 million in venture capital in 2023, with only 15% coming from regional investors. This “scared capital” problem is costing us $6 to $12 billion annually in unrealized GDP. As the former Programme Director of the SEED Government VC Program, I’ve seen what’s possible when we get patient capital right. Read my latest article on building thriving innovation ecosystems.
