REQUEST COLLETTE TO SPEAK

SHIKILIA CARO - VP OF GLOBAL RELATIONSHIPS

Picture
Shikilia Caro is a master connector.  Her love for people and connecting is evident in her ability to build strong relationships that benefit the individual and their network.  Like our CEO, Caro is a long-time entrepreneur who’s spent most of her 20+ year career as an executive in the real estate and insurance industries.  During this time she has been responsible for building strong partnerships that have withstood the last two recessions and are still thriving today.  Her heart for helping others leave a legacy that outlives them is the fuel that moved her to write her first book, Wealth is A Mindset.  This desire is directly in line with the heart that RED has for its clients and collaborative partners.

Shikilia is an expert communicator who always finds a way to be the voice of reason during the toughest of situations.  This quality allows her to meet others where they are and find a solution that works best for all involved.  Like RED, Caro believes that winning doesn’t have to be a zero-sum game because together we can all win.
​
Ms. Caro joins the REDTeam as Vice President of Global Relationships.  In this role she will continue to build relationships with clients, potential clients, collaborators and REDChampions.

BRITTNEY MCKINNEY - EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT

She's the spark and the glue of the REDTeam.  Brittney McKinney's core value is most certainly fun!  We probably should add to her title Chief Fun Officer.  Her ability to keep all of the moving parts of RED moving helps the REDTeam maintain our cohesion, stay connected to our clients, and offer our collaborative partners the value of being a REDChampion.

Brittney's background in education, customer service and relationship management is evident in the way she anticipates the needs of our team and clients.  Her rock star ability to process information and adapt is certainly an asset to our team.

Brittney's a Prairie View University alumni who loves teaching and supporting others.  She is new to the entrepreneurial world but has found her passion for supporting business owners and educating business owners is complimented by her background in education and customer service.  Brittney's bubbly personality and dedication to service helps RED support our clients on their journey.

Greg Washington - contract manager

Picture
Greg Washington, the power connector whose core values include tenacity and commitment to excellence loves the challenge of helping entrepreneurs thrive.  These core values that guide my career, not just in his current role as VP of Global Relationships, but dating back 30 years when he entered the United States Army and escalated to be a Platoon Sergeant. Since then, he's worn different hats to ensure the accomplishment of business targets while providing excellent results.

Being a customer-oriented professional, his goal with every client interaction is to provide a positive experience with exceptional results. Building strong relationships, solving complex problems, and exceeding expectations, are at the heart of his work.

Washington is key to expanding and growing sales, winning new customers as well as maintaining key clients,  offering a high level of customer satisfaction.  He is an asset to the REDTeam, it's clients, and the business community.
