Recommending Ebony is easy. Once, during a meeting with Randal Charlton, the executive director at TechTown, he described her by saying
Carole Y. Jones
I am extremely happy to endorse Ebony as she is a delightful, confident and inspiring advocate for entrepreneurs. Besides being a joy to work with, Ebony is a true professional and a take-charge person who is able to ask challenging questions to elicit effective solutions. While participating in the SmartStart program, I could always count on Ebony to respond quickly and accurately. She was extraordinarily helpful to me as well as to many of the other TechTown companies. I would recommend Ebony to anyone or company, looking to go higher and be better. She is a gem.
