01 / About
Strategy with a point of view.
I’m Candace—an investor and operator fascinated by how culture becomes infrastructure, how ideas become institutions, and how access changes who gets to participate.
My path from education to strategy and new ventures gives me a rare lens: I see both the system and the people it should serve.
