Meet the Team

  • Chief Implementation Officer

    As our co-founder and Chief Implementation Officer, Kalisse Anderson believes the most powerful solutions are born from a truly global understanding. She brings this philosophy to high-stakes transactions, which have ranged from $35 million to over $300 million across a diverse array of industries.

    Kalisse doesn't just execute deals; she architects elegant solutions. She has orchestrated financing for a $200 million power plant in the Former Yugoslavia while also guiding the strategic acquisition of a $20 million flour company in Turkey. Her ability to navigate such distinct contexts stems from a life lived internationally. Her perspective was shaped by the vibrant cultures of Jamaica and Barbados, then expanded in Vienna where she honed her skills in law, finance, and contracts, and expanded through deep collaboration across Eastern Europe and Northern Africa.

    This principled, globally-informed approach is equally applied to empowering businesses of all scales. By securing over twenty targeted financings for emerging enterprises, she has provided the essential capital—from $1 million to $40 million—that turns ambition into tangible growth.

    Those who work with her find that her talent for building bridges extends far beyond the boardroom. Kalisse is a natural connector, whose genuine warmth and intellectual curiosity allow her to build trust effortlessly. This authentic rapport is the unseen foundation of her leadership, transforming complex negotiations into collaborative successes.

  • Communications Director

    As our co-founder and Communications Director, Vickey Casey is a storyteller dedicated to forging connections that drive meaningful change. She believes that powerful solutions begin with listening, a skill she has honed while managing major social media campaigns for the health and safety of women and girls and leading complex research in global communities like Mozambique to understand how legal services transform lives.

    Her work is a testament to the power of words to shape reality. Through technical and persuasive writing, she has helped secure federal projects in the U.S. ranging from $150K to $10 million, empowering small and minority-owned businesses to deliver vital public services. For Vickey, it’s about building passionate teams and crafting the narrative that turns ambition into action.

    A true student of the world, she is endlessly curious about the rich tapestry of human experience. Vickey is a global storyteller whose perspective was shaped by the vibrant culture of her home, the Nature Isle of Dominica. Her intrinsic understanding of diverse communities, forged in the Caribbean and refined through years of living and working in the US andUK, fuels her passion for forging connections that drive meaningful change. She brings this perspective to her work, seeking out and sharing the true stories that reveal the strength and diversity inherent in every culture, ensuring our strategies are not just heard, but deeply understood.
