From helping to grow a business, to realizing its value through a sale, Jay and her team can connect business owners to the resources and capabilities that align with their unique needs.

Jay also harnesses her deep experiences and passion to assist non-profit organizations — on both the board and committee member levels — to help further their missions.
Since joining Bank of America’s business banking division in 2000, Jay has held various roles, including senior client manager.
