I am the granddaughter of an advocate and daughter of public servants. They all taught me at a young age I have the power to change society for the better.
After working across various sectors at the center of public affairs, Chante decided to spearhead change at the intersection of policy and business.
I know that innovation and ideas are at the heart of positive impact across all industries.
Each day I strive to use my understanding of growth-stage ventures, government to use my knowledge to drive positive
Bio
As a strategic consultant and Vice President at Capalino+Company, I work with companies to drive long-term, sustainable growth in New York. I help clients identify opportunities, potential pitfalls, and navigate challenges when entering or expanding in a new market. My expertise includes working with startups and social enterprises to elevate their brands, and provide boots-on-the-ground support. My expertise includes developing and implementing successful social impact initiatives that benefit both companies and residents in the neighborhoods where they operate. This includes advancing sustainability goals, working with minority-and-women-owned entrepreneurs, and carrying out community programs.
With a clear understanding and passion for bridging the gap between innovative businesses and the government that regulates them, I am confident I can speak about the emerging blend of impact and business as government and consumers demand that brands have real, tangible impact on communities; municipalities leveraging technology to reach their sustainability goals; overcoming regulatory hurdles and accessing resources as a social entrepreneur; women in innovation and politics; building a world center for women in NYC.
I am an enthusiast for the intersection of politics, civic engagement, and innovation/tech. I have experience speaking at and judging for hackathons. Additionally, I am a mentor and have facilitated office hours at various tech accelerators and incubators in New York City including AngelHack, Barclays Accelerator, Urban Future Labs, Urban X, and Grand Central Tech.
