My leadership journey began with founding and leading Promising Integrations Consulting Firm, Inc. (PICF, Inc.), a women-owned IT consulting firm specializing in digital transformation and workforce development. Over the years, I have built teams from the ground up, managed complex HR projects, and designed talent development programs that helped organizations scale while retaining top talent. I understand what it takes to create sustainable people strategies, nurture leadership potential, and build cultures that prioritize equity, belonging, and well-being.
I have always believed that an organization’s greatest strength is its people. As Director of Digital Equity & Inclusion for the City of Detroit, I developed programs that bridged workforce gaps by providing training, career pathways, and access to digital resources for underserved communities. These initiatives improved economic mobility, expanded career opportunities, and reinforced a culture of inclusion—an approach I would bring to your organization ensuring JEDI values are embedded in every aspect of the employee experience.
As CEO of Promising Integrations Consulting Firm, Inc. (PICF, Inc.), I led large-scale IT transformations for Fortune 500 clients across manufacturing, energy, automotive, and government sectors. I have spearheaded ERP/SAP deployments, cloud migrations, and enterprise-wide data management strategies that improved operational efficiency while reducing costs by 30%.
I have extensive experience managing IT infrastructure, backend technical support, and cybersecurity governance across international locations. At Detroit Public Schools Community District (CIO), I led district-wide IT security initiatives, ensuring compliance with ISO, NIST, and GDPR regulations while overseeing 50,000+ users and enterprise-wide SaaS applications.
In the automotive industry, I led global new-hire training and ERP integrations for General Motors, successfully deploying cloud-based HRIS and CRM platforms across North America, Europe, and Asia. My ability to implement multi-country systems while maintaining IT compliance directly supporting a global IT expansion strategic plan.
