As a founding partner and President of Reinventure Capital, an early growth impact venture capital fund, my professional career has come full circle. An early pioneer in impact investing, I also have had careers as a real estate developer, business strategy consultant, interim CFO and now have re-entered the profession of venture capital with over 30 years of deep business development and venture capital experience and a track record of notable achievements. My VC career began at age 25 and accelerated at age 27 when I became CEO of one of the larger venture capital firms in the nation, backed and mentored by such board directors as the CEO of Morgan Stanley and the Chairman of the Executive Committee of JP Morgan. As one of the earliest impact VC funds, we invested in growth industries to consciously expand business opportunities for entrepreneurs of color achieving an IRR of 32% during its last decade.
