Wadeco Business Center, LLC, is an MWBE, DBE, WOSB, and SB-designated entity. Wadeco Business Center (WBC) is a leading organization of business advisors and specialists serving businesses and organizations across the U.S. Its core purpose is to be a catalyst for small businesses and entrepreneurs and play a role in reshaping the success of this community by navigating them through the systems of accessing capital, contract readiness, and market readiness.
My consulting and financing career spans over 24 years and is widely recognized as award-winning and as a leading expert in business development, strategic planning, and supplier contracting. As an Author, Business Coach, and National Trainer, I have trained thousands of executives, business owners, and professionals from various backgrounds on topics that range from getting certified, working with the government, starting a business, strategic planning, and financing a business.
In the past two years, I hosted more than 133 workshops on contract readiness and capital readiness for various county, city, and state organizations and higher education institutions. As a result, I was able to certify over 500 businesses, processed 1800 certifications, and raised $140 million in supplier contracts. Additionally, I consulted with numerous clients across the country on raising capital and business expansion, which led to raising more than $48 million in capital infusion; created 371 jobs, retained 223 jobs; and assisted with the launch of 260 + startups.
I love my job and will continue to help small businesses pivot to the next level and thrive in a competitive environment!
