As the co-founder and chief growth officer of OBSV Group, I am passionate about creating a universal nexus of opportunity and informational exchange. I leverage my expertise in digital marketing channels, corporate strategy, and product sales to amplify voices and ideas around the world, especially in the areas of global awareness, human rights, social justice, diversity, and education. I have a strong academic background in finance, having completed my master's degree in Finance from the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University. I also hold a certification in venture deals from Kauffman Fellows and TechStars, which has helped me secure funding and partnerships for OBSV Group. In my previous roles, I have led sales and strategy teams at GPS Speakers & Events, where I increased revenue by 50% and expanded the client base by 25%. I am always eager to learn new skills and explore new opportunities that align with my values and goals. Observation Group Inc. (OBSV Group) is a firm built on the foundation of legacy and a freedom-fighting tradition of excellence. We are not public speaking agents simply to broker meaningless transactions for monetary gain. With a focus on our Five-Point Foundation, it is our mission as an agency to give “Agency” to individuals and communities by amplifying voices and ideas around the world. OBSV consistently pumps up the volume on the voices that are empowering each of us to actualize the best of what the future holds for humanity. But before any of us can effect positive change, walk in purpose, or ascertain solutions to our most pressing problems, we must first step back…look at the world objectively…and assess the true nature of the issues. To that end…everything begins with observation! We pride ourselves on being of service to an influential roster of speakers and an esteemed book of patrons that understand the power of observation. To a painstaking degree, our clients are researchers, philosophers, advocates, business moguls, educators, content developers, and icons that have done the cultural, educational, and professional reconnaissance required to offer solutions to the world’s most intractable challenges. Some of the notable talent we represent include Dr. Cornel West, Iyanla Vanzant, Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and many more. Our patrons are educational institutions, non-profit organizations, associations, and corporations that place the highest value on education, democracy, corporate social responsibility, and the public good.
