Meet Tadia James
Investor & CEO | Strategic Advisor | Speaker

I’m the CEO & Founder of Black Onyx, a vertically integrated impact platform where innovation, investment, and philanthropy come together to turn bold vision into measurable outcomes.
With a background across Wall Street, venture capital, and technology, and an MBA from Stanford, I work with founders, operators, and influential leaders navigating entrepreneurship, scale, and the desire to make their greatest impact in the world.
My work sits at the intersection of strategy, systems thinking, and quantum principles. I help people clarify what they’re here to build, design aligned plans, and take decisive action so progress accelerates and results arrive with less force.
Through focused business advisory sessions, private advisory, select partnerships, and keynote speaking, I guide clients and audiences from intention to execution by aligning capital, energy, and leadership toward outcomes that matter.
I also speak on leadership, conscious capital, and building the systems required for a thriving society, bringing grounded strategy and soulful intelligence to stages around the world.
