Hi, I’m Twanna

Strategic Thought Partner. Fractional CXO.

I’m the calm voice, the strategic brain, and the steady partner you want in the room when business starts feeling like a lot.

I help founders who are tired of carrying everything themselves step into real leadership — with clarity, structure, and support that actually helps them breathe again.

If you’ve ever said, “I wish I had someone who just gets it,” you’re in the right place.

A Business Partner Who Speaks Your Language

Entrepreneurship isn’t just strategy.
It’s culture, family, legacy, and identity wrapped into one non-stop experience.

You don’t need another coach telling you to “work smarter.”
You need someone who can sit beside you, understand how you think, and help you turn the swirl in your head into a clear, confident next step.

My work blends:

  • Clarity — so you always know what matters right now
  • Structure — so your business stops running on vibes and adrenaline
  • Implementation — because strategy without action is just cute notes
  • Leadership support — so you’re not building alone

Clients come to me for structure, stay for results, and return for clarity.

That’s the work. That’s the impact.

How I Got Here

I didn’t choose entrepreneurship — entrepreneurship chose me.

Back in 2009, life pushed me into this world with no safety net and no roadmap. What started as a way to take care of my family quickly turned into a calling to help other women do the same — but with structure, intention, and support.

By 2014, Empress Business Solutions was born, and I evolved from virtual assistant to strategist… to the behind-the-scenes engine for launches, operations, and business growth

Over time, clients needed more than task support.
They needed someone to think with them, help them make decisions, simplify chaos, and build systems that aligned with their goals. That’s when consulting and Fractional CXO leadership became the natural next step.

Who I Am (When I’m Not In CEO Mode)

When I’m off the clock, you’ll usually find me laughing with friends and family over a good brunch, singing every lyric at a New Edition concert, or sneaking in soft-life moments between client calls. I’m all about joy, culture, and connection — because the people I serve see themselves in this same blend of ambition, authenticity, and ease.

What It’s Like Working With Me


Whether we’re together for 60 minutes or six months, my goal is simple:
Clarity, structure, and strategic support that moves the business forward — not just your to-do list.

When we work together, you get:

  • A thought partner who remembers the things you forget
  • A strategist who sees the big picture and the practical steps
  • A calm operator who brings order to the swirl
  • A culturally aligned partner who understands you just as deeply as your business

This is support that grows with you — not the basic admin work you’ve long outgrown.

Your Questions, Answered…

I partner with entrepreneurs who are growing out of the DIY phase and stepping into true leadership. If you’re craving structure, clarity, and a strategic thought partner — not just help with tasks — you’re exactly who I built this work for.

I love entrepreneurs at every stage, but my deepest work is with founders who have been in business for a bit, have paying clients, and are ready for strategy, systems, and support that helps you think and operate like a CEO. If you’re still validating your idea or building your first offer, the Business Breakthrough Session is the perfect starting point.

Great question — because each option meets a different level of need:

You can explore each option on the services page and choose what fits your season.

Nope — not for Breakthrough Sessions or CEO Intensives.
For Fractional CXO partnerships, I invite clients into a private conversation only after we’ve worked together in an Intensive or Breakthrough session. This ensures we’re aligned and that the long-term support truly fits your business.

A Business Breakthrough Session is usually the best reset.
It’s one hour, it’s focused, and it gives you space to breathe while we untangle what’s actually going on.
Most clients walk away with clarity on their next moves — without needing to commit to anything long-term.

Totally okay — most clients aren’t ready for a long-term partner on day one.
That’s why I created the Breakthrough Session and CEO Intensive. They help you get clarity, systems direction, and momentum even if you’re not ready for monthly support.
When (or if) the time comes, we’ll know together.
