Who You Are
You’re scaling, expanding your influence, and creating opportunities for underrepresented voices to be heard. But let’s be real—sustainable growth in this industry takes more than passion and hard work. You need strategic leadership, a high-performing team, and streamlined operations that don’t feel like an endless juggling act.

Hi, I’m Dominique!
With over a decade of experience in CPG, Retail, and B2B, I specialize in program management and leadership development across HR, Sales, People, and Business Operations. Having held multiple leadership roles, I don’t just understand what it takes to lead—I equip businesses and individuals with actionable strategies to drive performance, engagement, and long-term success.

Not only am I a Certified Director of Operations but…
As a proud woman of color and a “walking Venn diagram” of identities, I bring a unique perspective on navigating imposter syndrome, overcoming analysis paralysis, and fostering authentic team connections. I lead with a growth mindset and deep empathy, understanding that the most high-performing teams are built on trust, inclusivity, and a shared sense of purpose.
In today’s workforce—where five generations collaborate under one roof—I serve as a bridge-builder, helping leaders connect across differences and leverage diverse perspectives as a competitive advantage. By fostering a diversity-first mindset, I help organizations stand out as thought leaders in their industries and communities, creating cultures where innovation, collaboration, and people thrive.
If you’re looking for a strategic partner who blends deep expertise with real-world insight, let’s work together to drive meaningful impact.

The Values
AUTHENTICITY AS POWER
True leadership starts with embracing who you are, not who the world expects you to be. I believe in showing up unapologetically, because when we lead with authenticity, we inspire others to do the same.
EMPATHY IN ACTION
Leadership isn’t just about strategy—it’s about people. Leaders strive to create space for diverse voices, champion underrepresented leaders, and foster workplaces where kindness and accountability go hand in hand.
ADVOCACY & EMPOWERMENT
I believe in using my voice—and helping others use theirs. Whether it’s navigating corporate spaces or stepping into entrepreneurship, I’m here to support BIPOC women, LGBTQIA+ leaders and their allies-in action in building careers that thrive on their own terms.
GROWTH THROUGH CHANGE
Change isn’t something to fear—it’s something to embrace. I help leaders and teams navigate transitions with resilience, adaptability, and a little bit of curiosity. The unknown isn’t a roadblock; it’s a doorway to new opportunities.
JOY IN THE JOURNEY
Work shouldn’t be soul-crushing. I believe in creating work cultures where fun, creativity, and human connection aren’t just encouraged—they’re essential. Because when people feel joy in what they do, they perform at their best.
EQUITY THAT CREATES IMPACT
The workplace should be a level playing field, but systemic barriers still exist. I’m committed to challenging the status quo, rethinking outdated leadership models, and making room for historically excluded voices at the table.
EXCELLENCE EVERY DAY
Leadership isn’t about a title or a destination—it’s about the daily choices we make to lead with integrity, courage, and intention. I believe that small, consistent actions create lasting impact.
