Dr. Minina Johnson, better known as Dr. Jaye, exemplifies living with purpose through her multifaceted roles as a seasoned business professional, community leader, and advocate for introverted women in leadership. As the Founder and CEO of Greater Ambitions LLC, an operations and project management consultancy. With over 20 years of experience in leading complex, multi-million-dollar programs across aerospace, defense, and technology sectors, Dr. Jaye has mastered the art of aligning strategic objectives with operational excellence. Through Greater Ambitions LLC, she delivers tailored solutions in project management, operations optimization, and leadership development, helping businesses and professionals achieve ambitious goals. Her consultancy has become a trusted partner for entrepreneurs, small businesses, and government agencies seeking to improve efficiency and drive sustainable growth.

She also leverages her expertise to mentor and empower women, particularly Black women in leadership and entrepreneurship, to achieve their professional goals in spaces where they have been historically underrepresented. Her personal journey of embracing her introverted nature has been transformative. She has cultivated a deeper sense of self-awareness and authenticity, discovering a newfound appreciation for solitude, deep reflection, and meaningful connections. This self-discovery has enabled her to show up more authentically in various aspects of her life, inspiring others to do the same. 

In her professional career, Dr. Jaye has encountered challenges with leaders who questioned her competence due to her introverted nature. Despite these challenges, she has demonstrated her competence and effectiveness as a leader through tangible contributions and successful outcomes. She has found success by leveraging her introverted strengths, such as active listening, strategic thinking, and fostering meaningful connections with team members. Moving forward, she is committed to assisting and supporting other women who are navigating introversion or who may be experiencing similar shifts in self-perception. 

Through her flagship platforms, Be ambitiouslyH.E.R.™️ and ambitiouslyIntroverted™️, Dr. Jaye assists, inspires, and encourages businesswomen, entrepreneurs, and introverted women to be their true, authentic selves while navigating obstacles and achieving success in business, leadership, and entrepreneurial journeys. 

Dr. Jaye's dedication to purpose is also evident in her scholarly work. She co-authored a study exploring the perspectives of African American women project managers in the U.S. aerospace and defense industry, aiming to increase their representation and project success. 

By leading with integrity, embracing her authentic self, and empowering others, Dr. Jaye walks in her purpose daily, inspiring those around her to do the same.
