I bridge strategy and impact. For two decades, I've helped communities and organizations build wealth and political power by aligning stakeholders, redesigning programs for equity, and channeling capital where it matters most.
As founder of AllHold Capital, a $10 million impact investment fund, I help small businesses transition to employee ownership—keeping them rooted in their neighborhoods. Through Maura Shenker Solutions, I partner with national organizations like Prosperity Now and EQALL on program scaling, capacity building, and innovation design.
My unique perspective: I've been both funder and recipient, policy architect and boots-on-the-ground practitioner. At the SBA, I helped redesigned federal programs for equity. At Temple University, I turned a struggling program into an award-winner that moved $21 million to underserved businesses.
I believe economic agency and democratic power are inseparable.
When communities control resources, they control their futures. Ready to explore how we might work together?
