Hi, I’m Stacy, 
a small-town lake country girl turned modern traditionalist, building emotionally intelligent technology and presence-based leadership systems for the future of legacy.

Since I was ten, I’ve believed business could be done differently — not just more efficiently, but more humanly.

For 27+ years, I led innovation across startups and Fortune 5 companies. I learned how systems scale and how trust breaks, whether because emotion gets edited out or because unchecked emotion runs the show.

When it was time to choose what came next, I couldn’t return to the system I once believed would take me to the top.

That decision sparked my current path, one that bridges emotional intelligence, technology, and generational wealth.

I founded Equati to help family offices, investors, and founders align values, vision, and legacy within their direct investing. Because legacy isn’t numbers on a page; it's a living system shaped by presence, trust, and the way we communicate across generations.

Alongside Equati, I serve as a Presence-Based Chief of Staff & Leadership Consigliere --- a strategic partner to founders, principals, and family enterprises navigating growth, succession, or strategic inflection points.

My work blends strategic clarity with emotional intelligence, helping leaders create coherence across their people, priorities, and processes.

Today, I work with:
→ Family Offices & Investors designing continuity and trust across generations
→ Principals and founders needing strategic partnership and grounded decision support
→ UHNW families preparing for legacy transitions and the Great Wealth Transfer
→ Companies built for patient, purpose-driven capital

Because how we invest, lead, and live isn’t separate from who we are.
It's the story of legacy in motion.

When I’m not building or serving leaders, you’ll find me between Austin, TX and Minneapolis, MN driving my Jeep with the top off, baking (my signature is banana bread with a salty crust), or on a flight across an ocean with camera in hand, writing about the messy, human side of legacy, leadership, and love.

Because the way we invest, lead, and live is the story we leave behind.

Kinkly

S+x is a bit like a secret society; whether we're doing it or not, most of us have been taught not to talk about it.

Screw that. After all, where has it gotten us? S+xuality is a normal, healthy part of being human, and talking about s+x is how we learn about it, about ourselves and about our partners. Here at Kinkly, we think that conversation is a path toward s+x that's safer, more respectful and, as a result, more pleasurable for everyone involved.

Promoting comfort and conversations around s*x is our mission. We aim to create content for people of all genders, s*xual orientations and experience levels. We work to answer your questions, teach you some new things and, ultimately, help you discover more about pursuing pleasure in ways that are safe, healthy, consensual - and fun!

No judgments, no apologies, just fearless, straight-up talk about s-x.
