Get to know me!
Jade B. Robinson
I'll be honest (I love being honest), I don't sugarcoat things. Always direct and straight to the point about everything. Originally a New York native, I relocated to Jacksonville, Florida in 2008 to be close to family. After 14+ years in the corporate world and commonly known as the New York Sweetheart, I am a true servant leader with an assertive disposition. I am now the proud and passionate business owner of two thriving hospitality companies in Northeast Florida.
Nominated as a Professional Business Woman of the Year in 2019 by the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce's Professional Woman’s Council and later enduring a global pandemic in 2020; I am excited to share the story of how my companies went from thriving to surviving and back to thriving again!
I will share stories of how I persevered with limited resources from the beginning and maintained the discipline to reach my goals through my transparency and empathetic ability to connect with an audience.
