“Jean Marie Richardson is a unique phenomenon in the business space today. She is a woman who not only beat the odds against creating a successful business startup but went on to build that business into the super successful, much heralded, international-client based company it is today. A Georgia Tech President's Scholar, JMR and I met while interviewing candidates for the Dean's Scholarship at the Ga Tech College of Business. Having worked at that time for Ga Tech, Oracle, Microsoft and then currently, MasterCard, Jean Marie brought a wealth of business experience to the table. I was so impressed with her business skills, her passion and her project, iFOLIO, that I became her first investor. Now, of course, Jean Marie has transformed that initial university application-aimed platform into the premier digital portfolio platform in the world, engaging clients in the business, sports, general education and university specific business spaces in over 100 countries. The iFOLIO model reflects Jean Marie's grounded values of customer first, team before self, glass half-full and always, a bias for action. I am proud to be Jean Marie's partner.”
