    Jun 4 2024
    Charlene loves helping companies understand their financials. She believes that a business will only go as far as its people. Charlene doesn't just hand over financials and do half of the job; she explains every material item so clients can decide on the next steps. Her goal is to help businesses grow, train their staff, create policy and procedures manuals, develop reimbursement policies, find the right benefits for their company, assist in hiring, manage overhead, create budgets, provide variance reporting, and conduct forecasting—essentially, everything a Controller or CAO would do. Charlene is dedicated to cleaning her client's financials up so they are ready for anything coming their way! For more information on Charlene, please find her on her socials @hashtagcpa

    EP 72 Courtney Williams
    Apr 18 2024
    As a woman of color facing worse healthcare outcomes, Courtney Williams thought she was going to become a statistic when she fell ill in the days after giving birth. Instead, she survived, and what she experienced helped inspire her POV on how technology (like pregnancy apps) can do more than provide cute diversions but serve real women's needs, especially in the increasingly deadly postpartum period. Courtney is also the award-winning CEO of Emagine and has previously written for Fast Company about the maternal mortality crisis. Emagine is a prize-winning alumnus of Pharrell Williams’ Black Ambition Program. They partner with healthtech pioneer Withings and Afrotech; many others have profiled her for her work addressing maternal mortality.
