About EJ Consortium
What if your business could be permanently profitable AND a catalyst for justice?
Most mission-driven leaders face an impossible choice: sacrifice profit for purpose, or compromise values for growth. I help you reject that false choice.
You're brilliant at your mission. You've got the vision, the passion, and the team. But financial anxiety and operational overwhelm keep you up at night. You're working harder than ever, yet the path to sustainable profitability feels impossibly far away.
Here's what I know: Your business shouldn't just survive, it should thrive while transforming communities.
Through EJ Consortium, I bring 20+ years of strategic finance and operations expertise (forged at KPMG, PwC, and State Farm, then battle-tested as a social entrepreneur) to mission-driven businesses ready to scale without compromise.
My specialty? Cutting through the chaos to build permanently profitable businesses that create wealth for employees, strengthen disadvantaged communities, and drive systemic change.
This isn't theory from an ivory tower. As a founder of enterprises like 'Laine's Bake Shop, I've lived the challenges you're facing. I've transformed operations that increased food access, reduced recidivism rates, and built community wealth—work recognized by the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and others.
I leverage the Profit First methodology alongside proven frameworks in:
- Operations optimization that eliminates overwhelm
- Financial strategy that creates breathing room
- Scalable systems that support rapid growth
- Equitable ownership structures that build lasting wealth
My clients don't just see healthier balance sheets—they achieve their dreams faster with fewer mistakes. They build enterprises that deliver both exceptional financial returns and measurable social transformation.
I partner with purpose-driven leaders who refuse to choose between profit and impact. Visionaries serving on the front lines of economic justice who are ready to scale strate
