Jade’s journey has come full circle – and they couldn’t be more excited about it.
After three successful business exits (most recently in March 2025) and years building companies in software and services, Jade is back where some of their earliest professional roots took hold: Uptown Studios. Now serving as Interim Director of Operations, they’re bringing everything they’ve learned about sustainable scaling, operational excellence, and ethical business methodologies to help Uptown Studios scale.
It’s a homecoming that makes perfect sense. The same strategic frameworks that helped them scale multiple ventures to successful exits are now being applied to a company they deeply believe in. Their approach combines hard-won operational expertise with the people-first philosophy they teach through the High Performance Rebel program – proving that business growth and team sustainability aren’t mutually exclusive.
Beyond Uptown Studios, Jade continues coaching business owners through sustainable scaling, serves on the Queer Business Alliance board, and stays deeply involved in the local business community. They’re a Certified Pickleball Coach who’s just as likely to take a business call on a hike as from a desk, and they believe the best way ahead is all boats rising together.
