Hiring & Employee Management

Kimone Napier, M.S

Founder of Hire Breakthrough, helping founders take the breakdown out of their hiring breakthrough. 

“Our hiring process is specifically created for small businesses and startups to help save money while tapping the talent that they need in order to scale. We use an intentional hiring process to help our clients take back control, stop chasing unicorns, and put the right people in the right seats.”

Karen Dean Yates, SPHR

Founder of Accel HR Solutions, a boutique human capital consultancy.

“My background spans numerous midsize and large energy, tech, and financial services companies in HR and finance roles. I utilize my background to partner with leaders of startups and small-to-midsize businesses to build high-performing, cohesive teams, develop managers into leaders, and offer an employee value proposition to compete with large companies. Most importantly, I help leaders create awesome places to work!”

Dom Farnan

Founder of DotConnect, a talent advisory that partners with heart-led companies to build outstanding teams and foster a people-focused culture. 

“We don't just fill jobs. We partner with clients and teach them what it means to hire with intention so they are able to confidently run an impactful recruiting process. We work as an extension of our client's internal team and understand them on a deeper level so we can ensure the team they're building will support their bigger vision and goals.”

Christina Salerno

CEO of Magical Teams, the unicorn ops hire and strategic partner for mission-driven leaders to get them out of the day-to-day and into a visionary role.

“Small businesses need a wide range of support to help them with all of the moving parts. They either have to settle for a micro team that wears more hats than they should or they have to love to manage a team with more targeted expertise. This usually leaves founders filling the gaps and stretching themselves way too thin. 

Magical Teams provides a holistic ‘team built for you’ solution with a strategist-, coordinator-, admin-curated pod that is backed by a team of other experts ready to jump in as needed. This is an accessible way for CEOs to focus on the vision and let their very own ‘Magical Team’ handle the rest.”

Jes Osrow, SHRM-SCP, PAHR

Co-Founder and COO of The Rise Journey, providing high-value, metrics-driven support to facilitate positive organizational change, based on diversity, equity, inclusion, and social impact.

“In my experience, listening to our client's goals and tailoring our capabilities, support, and resources to meet these goals is key. DEI and human resources work is not one-size-fits-all. It’s essential to ask, ‘What do you as an organization want to achieve, and how can we help you get there?’ 

While it may sometimes feel counterintuitive not to push for hitting the nail on the head for all best practices, understanding an organization’s current state and guiding it to the next level is far more impactful. Recognizing where an organization stands with its business goals and finding ways to align our DEI efforts with ongoing or new practices is crucial for making meaningful progress.”

Leadership & Career Development

Lee Crockett, MBA

Founder of Lee Crockett Consulting, providing executive, career, and sales training services to women and teams.

“I help women get the title and pay they deserve. I offer executive, career, and sales training to high-achieving women so they can fast-track their promotions, scale their businesses, overcome imposter syndrome, and take control of their careers.”

Claudia Richman

Co-Founder of Starling Training, offering in-person and cohort-based, virtual, synchronous training designed to sharpen the skills that build productive, supportive relationships.

“We help our client organizations level up by strengthening their middle. We enable their middle managers to be effective conduits between leadership and employees, to provide emotionally intelligent support to their reports, and to successfully balance their workload as individual contributors with the demands of management. This strong center of the organization leads to increased productivity and engagement.”

Bosky Mukherjee

Founder of PMDojo, a platform that helps women and minorities upskill into tech and move up in leadership roles with unique experiential coaching and product accelerator programs.

“While traditional upskilling programs focus on theoretical knowledge, case studies, and frameworks, we believe that real-world innovation and product building require more than just textbook understanding. We recognize the blend of technical and interpersonal skills necessary for success. Our curriculum emphasizes the integration of ‘hard’ technical skills with essential ‘human’ skills like communication, collaboration, and conflict resolution. This holistic approach prepares our graduates to thrive in real-world workplaces, bridging the gap between theory and practical application that many other programs overlook.”

Gokce Gizer Clover

Founder of Beyond42, an organization shaping the future of leadership in tech.

“I work with founders of rapidly growing tech companies, helping them build and lead their teams to scale beyond their initial products for long-term performance. I offer a unique approach that combines advisory on product and business strategy with coaching and training in organizational development and neuroscience-backed leadership growth. 

This integration enables me to support founders in enhancing both individual and organizational performance, and tackle the multifaceted challenges of scaling. By holistically addressing leadership, strategy, and team dynamics, I empower founders to unlock new levels of effectiveness and growth.”

Sam Alvita (Sloan)

Founder of Alvita Coaching, a career and leadership coaching practice that merges traditional techniques with innovation design principles. 

“At Alvita Coaching, we craft a future-focused approach that integrates clients' passions with transformative goals. By combining career coaching with design thinking, both emerging and established leaders are equipped with essential tools to develop purpose-driven careers. The methodology emphasizes a strengths-based, iterative process that helps clients secure their dream roles and empowers them to initiate projects that align with their broader visions.”

Alex Mufson, LCSW

Founder and CEO of Rêv, on a mission to redirect the flow of capital from those who do harm with it to those who heal with it.

“We work for the expert in their field who is tired of working for a company with no soul, the founder ready to scale, and the six- or seven-figure business ready to refine and reinvest in values by providing full-circle business mentorship. We believe that businesses should be full of humanity, so we take an analogue approach to starting and scaling companies to revolutionize capitalism and our relationship with work from the inside out!”

Yvonne Ingalls, PCC

Founder of Holosophy Leadership Consulting, helping leaders build the capacity, energy, and insight to do more than they thought possible and be the leaders they're most proud to be.

“Many coaches and leadership development programs focus on adding more skills to the toolbelt. I take a different approach. In my work with individuals and teams, we focus on three areas: self-awareness—understanding and appreciating what drives you, your strengths, what gets in your way, and what’s most important to you; situational effectiveness—discerning what the situation needs or demands; and strengthening the nervous system—creating practices that help you stay composed under pressure, be resilient, and bring the best of yourself into your leadership. Working in this holistic way creates real and sustainable change for leaders with less burnout. It leaves them feeling like the best version of themselves.”

Legal, Finance, & Accounting

Stephanie Skryzowski

Founder and CEO of 100 Degrees Consulting, providing CFO and bookkeeping services to nonprofits around the globe.

“We help our clients uplevel by demystifying a subject that has historically left them confused, overwhelmed, and sometimes overcome with shame: their finances. We make financial management approachable by using crystal-clear spreadsheets, speaking in everyday language without a lot of technical jargon, and applying information from a client's financial statement to decisions they need to make every day. Our clients feel more confident in telling their story through their numbers!”

Chandler Holsapple

Founder and Attorney at Lethal Legal, a modern law firm helping entrepreneurs worldwide secure rights to their brand and create a rock-solid reputation.

“We go beyond traditional lawyering and create a collaborative relationship with our clients to not only get them the protections they need but also elevate their mindset to match. Infusing confidence and empowerment into the work we do, clients move through business more fearlessly. With this new found mindset, clients are able to scale their businesses at a more rapid rate, increase their revenue, and know they are safe and secure should any issues arise.”

Kimberly Calongne Tara, CPA CTC

Founder and Lead Tax Strategist at The Tara CPA Firm, LLC, the go-to elevated experience for CEO mom service providers who want to keep more money in their pocket and build wealth.

“Our distinctive approach revolves around genuine care and continuous support, manifesting through multiple touchpoints and reminders integrated into our processes. We foster deep relationships with our clients, leading to a genuine investment in their businesses and personal lives, empowering them to embrace their CEO roles confidently. Throughout the year, we collaborate proactively and strategically to optimize tax efficiency, bolster financial security, and foster wealth accumulation. Amidst the complexities of taxes and finances, our nurturing environment cultivates trust and confidence, providing our clients with a reassuring sense of security.”

Sydney de Arenas Sherman

Founder and CEO of Admin Boutique, giving our clients their time back so that they can focus on what they do best, impacting the world with their unique talents.

“When we started, our assistants simply filled in gaps for our clients where we saw fit. Over time, we became passionate about our clients' personal and professional success. Our approach starts with examining where our clients spend their time, as we often lose sight of our goal and start doing just what is in front of us on any given day. From there, we are able to help our clients not just reduce stress and busyness but actually succeed in accomplishing their dreams, which are all about time management, focus, and support.”
