Current Board Roles

Silo Markets — Advisory Board Member
The first platform that lets customers earn points on their stocks, ETFs, and bonds. Financial
Institutions have long been incentivized to profit from your investments rather
than creating an environment that lets you grow long-term wealth.

Provided strategic advisory support during critical growth and financing periods, leveraging capital
markets relationships, stakeholder alignment expertise, and independent guidance to help
leadership navigate complex operational and go-to-market challenges.

Desync AI — Advisory Board Member
An AI-driven data infrastructure platform organizing institutional datasets
into structured, searchable intelligence

Served as a trusted advisor to the founding team, helping shape strategic messaging,
investor materials, and business positioning during the company’s formative stages.
Leveraged decades of market and operational experience to provide practical guidance,
simplify complex concepts, and support long-term growth initiatives.

Visionary Philanthropy Group (501c3) — Advisory Board Member
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on workforce development, technology
training, and creating pathways to meaningful employment for at-risk youth, returning citizens,
and underserved communities. Founded by formerly incarcerated entrepreneur and advocate
Nyene Baker, VPG's mission is to empower individuals through education, skills development,
and workforce readiness programs that promote long-term self-sufficiency and economic mobility.

As an Advisory Board Member, I have supported VPG across strategic communications,
fundraising, stakeholder engagement, and organizational development.
My contributions have included website messaging and positioning, relationship-building
and donor outreach, and providing guidance during key stages of the organization's growth and expansion.

In 2026, VPG achieved a historic milestone by receiving its Certificate of Approval from the State of New Jersey
and officially becoming a licensed Private Career School. I worked alongside the leadership team
during this critical period, supporting strategic initiatives and organizational readiness
efforts that helped advance VPG's progression from concept to state-approved educational institution.

Today, VPG is positioned to expand its impact by delivering workforce training, technology
education, and career development programs that create sustainable opportunities for individuals
seeking a second chance and a pathway to long-term success.
