Stephanie Clark

Meet Stephanie, the dynamo who kick-started her career in cost accounting and manufacturing operations. But it wasn't until she was handed the reins of the company's first ERP implementation that she truly fell head over heels. Using technology to optimize effective business processes was a game changer. Fast forward 20+ years and over 500 projects later, Stephanie has become the go-to solution architect who doesn't mess around and just gets things done.

When she's not wowing audiences as a presenter, speaker, or blogger, you can find her donning her hat as a certified Microsoft Dynamics Business Central professional. And let's not forget her juggling act managing product, presales activities, and building professional services practices. Now, she's the brains behind Elliott Clark Consulting, a Microsoft partner that's turning consulting services on their head.

Stephanie's mantra? ERP implementations don't have to be a drag! She's on a mission to prove that they can be effective, affordable, and downright awesome. By sprinkling in her magic dust of change management and business process transformations, she makes sure her clients have a rockstar experience.

Hi! I'm Busayo! Woman of God, content designer, storyteller, and agency owner from the golden state of California.

One of my core values is accessibility. I believe everyone should have access to technology, information, and ideas and I bring this forth into everything I do.

Having led high impact user experiences for brands like eBay, Coinbase, Wells Fargo, Champion, and Intuitive, I use my skills and experience to help elevate businesses with a strategy-led approach.

When I'm not crafting impactful user experiences, I love to go out and eat things like Korean BBQ with my hubby, spend time with family, travel to places like Barcelona, as well as try new things and explore my city.

Fun fact: I'm multilingual in English and Spanish and I even used to live in Spain.
