Throughout my career, I’ve been deeply involved in SaaS development, AI integration, and business automation, which have been pivotal in transforming how organizations operate. As the Founder and Product Owner at Lokate Partners, I created a comprehensive suite of interconnected SaaS solutions tailored for franchise businesses, including platforms like JetRecruiter and LokateCRM. My goal has always been to enhance operational efficiency and customer satisfaction through innovative technology. Additionally, I’ve championed the integration of AI-powered analytics across our platforms, driving meaningful insights that optimize performance and business processes. In my role as CMO at Home Helpers of Arkansas, I focused on automating marketing strategies and streamlining operations to propel company growth, expanding our franchise office count from 9 to 35. I’ve witnessed firsthand the powerful impact that technology and automation can have on business success, and I’m excited to continue leveraging these innovations to create sustainable value.
