Jayme

I lead programs for a living and build businesses on the side, from software for the trades to a family of companies here in Ohio.

Columbus, Ohio

Day shift

Senior Project Manager at Worthington Enterprises. Twenty years of turning complicated initiatives into delivered ones, across brokerage, banking, automotive, manufacturing, IT and operations.

After hours

Helping bring Thora Cloud to trades and small businesses, and building Mati, a family of businesses in Ohio and Colorado. Before that: Femcanic Garage, Women's Motor Fest and HerStoryTelling, making room for women in a world built for the boys.

“This is really about creating a space where there can be a sisterhood.”

Jayme, to MOTOR Magazine, 2022

From the guest chair

“It was really refreshing that she didn't shy away from subjects that might be deemed too controversial for some, like LGBT, women in the industry, and an overall lack of diversity in our industry.”

Jill Trotta Vice President and GM, RepairPal

“A unique and empowering experience. It is wonderful to have a safe and judgement-free platform to speak about what it's like to be a woman in the automotive industry.”

Patrice Banks Owner, Girls Auto Clinic

“She made me feel so supported and safe when sharing very sensitive stories about my experiences in the automotive industry.”

Brandy Goff Automotive mechanic
