Who We Serve
Ayesha Walker - CEO
BeIMAGINATIVE
“Wesley is a true visionary. He has supported so many of us in building the infrastructure of our businesses. He knows how to zoom out in a way that prioritizes legacy and sustainability, paying special attention to the aerial view. "
Ben Gilbarg, MS - CEO
S.T.E.A.M The Streets
"Wesley is an incredible leader and is rooted in all the right principals. I have been fortunate to be a member at CoBiz Richmond since 2019. Wesley has built a culture of belonging, respect, and support at CoBiz under tough circumstances including a pandemic. Through the business incubation program, he has helped me develop my business, offering well-informed advice, wisdom, and unconditional support. He is now one of my trusted advisors. I have seen Wesley facilitate connections and programming at CoBiz that is truly first class. His leadership is top notch."
Gwendolyn Mitchell - CEO
The Moyo Institute
“Working with Wesley has been one of my great privileges. He is a highly effective leader and consummate professional. During the past two years, since Moyo Institute has partnered with CoBiz Richmond, Wesley has demonstrated passion, commitment, fortitude, and vision. He has nurtured entrepreneurs in pursuit of their dreams and shared a storehouse of knowledge about strategic planning, legal and financial resources, local and global opportunities, and the building blocks for effective business development. He accomplished these while not losing sight of the unique constraints many small and minority businesses face and continuing to push for marketplace equity.
Wesley promotes wellness and self-care as important aspects of sustainable personal and business development. Despite the unusual challenging circumstances brought about by the Covid19 pandemic, under Wesley’s leadership, CoBiz Richmond continued to pivot to avoid service interruptions. They kept the doors open. One such idea was the weekly Rooftop and Instagram meditations offered in cooperation with Moyo Institute. He has wonderful ideas and a dedicated team that he mentors. Wesley is all about empowering others and community building. He is a true treasure.”
