Alice Foy at Roadmap to Billions

I help people and organizations move from ideas to impact by guiding them through complexity with intention, insight, and care. I love seeing teams come alive when they understand their purpose and potential, and I thrive on creating systems and programs that make that possible.

Whether I'm facilitating a vision-casting session, producing a 12-city tour, or designing a workforce development program, my goal is the same: to help organizations grow with purpose and for the people behind them to feel confident, capable, and empowered every step of the way.
