About Gwendolyn
Biography
I have represented business owners and entrepreneurs through all stages of growth and transition, and held various C-Suite level positions in Law, Administration and Strategy. My passion is to use those experiences to support smart, solid, sustainable growth for entrepreneurs and business owners, knowing that innovation and entrepreneurism can solve the most pressing issues we face. I currently serve on the board of the Association for Corporate Growth North Florida and previously served on the board of Leadership Jacksonville and founded GrowJax, an initiative serving second stage business owners ($1m - $50m revenue, 10-99 employees). Now in its 12th year, I am honored to have helped to bring a SBA backed Women's Business Center to Jacksonille and served as its founding chair.
