What other people say about me -

"Candice was instrumental in helping our team streamline the deal flow processes across our existing tech stack. We were under-utilizing the capabilities of technologies like Airtable. She advised us on using the tools at our disposal to save our team our most precious resource -- time -- enabling us to focus more on our core diligence work. Her experience architecting processes and leveraging data to evolve is clear, and we're happy to learn from her leadership. Supply Change highly recommends working with Candice; she will be an accelerator to any team that she engages with." 
- Supply Change Capital

"No doubt about it, Candice is solid - she is equally effective, whether adeptly supporting an effort in the background or front and center commanding and controlling a room. It is easy to pick up on her sincere feeling of ownership and observe as it reassures a team. These attributes were indispensable to our firm as she helped us build and implement our improved investment operations. She has a healthy and refreshing #NoFilter when necessary - if you're a fan of cutting through the bull. With Candice, not only does the train run on time, but it's going to a valuable and compelling destination." 
- Kelby Price, Managing Partner, Keyhorse Capital

“Candice's due diligence and deal flow management materials are unmatched! The material is intentional and thorough, covering the breadth and depth of each area appropriately. During group office hours, Candice is an amazing facilitator, taking the time to address everyone's questions and putting in time outside the sessions to be helpful. As an associate at an emerging fund, I found the course especially helpful in giving me actionable steps and proven methods to bring to our team to improve our processes.”
- Marigrace Ragsdale, VC Investor

SAMI Consulting

I founded SAMI Consulting to make corporate management consulting more accessible to small business owners and startup founders. The ability to get outside perspectives, insights into industry leader approaches, and execution power and skillsets can take a business to the next level. Traditional management consulting centers around 6-8 figure contracts, which many small businesses and startups cannot afford.

With both a service and platform approach, SAMI Consulting is looking to change this. If you're passionate about helping small businesses and startup founders, feel free to reach out and connect at any point. For potential clients looking to work together, we specialize in financial modeling, business strategy, and data driven storytelling. We can most help businesses looking to transform their business model, identify revenue stream potential, or create "no brainer" decisions for their customers, fans, and investors through data driven storytelling.

Management Consultant

Artisanal Bath Bomb Company

Founded temporary company to identify the market opportunity for artisanal bath bombs in B2B engagement for boutique hotels, starting in Los Angeles market and expanding afterwards.

Revenue broke even with expenses after month 1, and chose to pivot from marketing in the commercial space to a B2B play catering to boutique hotels. Determined startup was not venture scalable after 3 months and left to pursue other opportunities.

I still think about what it would have been like to keep this business going while I worked in management consulting. Perhaps in another life!
