She has successfully helped to secure a number of equity and debt capital raises on key projects and is responsible for communicating the companies’ objectives and strategies to capital sources through investment strategy execution.

Prior to joining New Faze Development, Charlie spent 2 years in New York City gaining executive level managerial experience where she successfully mobilized and managed a team of over 40 employees in the service and sales industry.

To those close to Charlie she is known as a visionary to the soul. She loves engaging with others whether social or business and this positive energy paves the way to create group synergy in pursuing collective goals. Growing up in a rural area developed an openness to exploring, discovery, and is still the center of who she is today. Charlie draws from her Grandfather’s love of laughter which he shared so generously with everyone around him. She learned vigilance and curiosity from growing up in a farming community where hard work, self reliance and caring for your neighbors is a natural part of life. In her free time she turns to her passion of hiking, cycling, and yoga which emanates from her love and gratitude for nature.
A native Californian, Charlie received her BA in Political Science and Minor in History from the University of California Merced and attended the University of California Berkeley.
