< Back Jennifer DeCaro 321-506-2349 Member Bio I'm a retired law enforcement member who is pivoting to a new career and am excited to meet everyone through this group. Just before retirement in 2024, my husband and I moved here to be closer to my family, particularly my son, and for my husband to pursue his career interests. I obtained a project management certification, we bought a house and, after a suitable reprieve from the daily work grind, I'm ready to find a career role I love. My law enforcement career presented many unusual and productive roles in administrative and non-designated HR roles, which is why I'm a bit of a "jack of all trades" and a master of a few. This allows me to be strategic in business efforts while maintaining my love of effectuating people-centric roles. New roles I'm considering include human resources management, project/program/portfolio management, policy and accreditation management, and consulting as a business partner for these and other roles. In fact, I've thought about starting my own business as a consultant and could use some help working through that idea. Thus, networking is my "job" right now! Please feel free to reach out if you or someone you know has an interesting business opportunity that could use my unique skill set. In the meantime, I look forward to networking with all of you!

< Back Amber Frazier- Finkelstein 919-321-7177 Visit Website Member Bio Founder of Battles Insights | Leadership & Relationship Strategist | Creator of the Navigator & Anchor Framework Amber Frazier-Finkelstein is the founder of Battles Insights, where she works with high-achieving leaders, entrepreneurs, and their partners who know how to win at work—but aren’t sure how to talk about what it’s costing them at home. Her work focuses on the tension between leadership, ambition, and relationships—the places where communication breaks down, roles get out of balance, and the weight of unspoken expectations starts to take its toll. Amber offers executive coaching, partner alignment sessions, leadership communication workshops, webinars, and keynote speaking—all designed to address the reality that leadership doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It happens alongside the people you love, the ones affected by the choices you make and the stress you carry. Her Navigator & Anchor Framework is just one piece of a broader approach that helps clients face big transitions and high-pressure seasons without losing their connection along the way. Armed with a bachelor’s degree in English, Humanities, and Religion, an MBA with a concentration in Organizational Leadership and Psychology, and a master’s in English Literature (focused on comic book characters and their parallels to religious figures), Amber brings a unique blend of strategy, insight, and cultural storytelling to her work. Outside of Battles Insights, Amber is a fashion consultant, a lover of live music, a voracious reader, and a regular on the true crime and psychology podcast circuit. She’s been married to her best friend, Jake, for nearly 13 years (though they’ve known each other for more than 26) and is raising two daughters—one college-aged, one elementary school-aged—who keep life both loud and full of heart. She’ll be the first to admit her coffee is never hot, mostly because she keeps forgetting it in the microwave. If you’re looking for leadership development, partner-focused coaching, or real conversations about the weight leadership puts on relationships, Amber’s work at Battles Insights offers a place to start—and the tools to actually move forward. Facebook Instagram LinkedIn Member Freebie Offer Free 60-min strategy session when booking an initial consult All Triangle Women’s Network members receive an additional free 60-minute strategy session when booking an initial consultation (normally a one-hour offer).

< Back Holly Orahem 919-435-4443 Visit Website Member Bio I have been a massage therapist since 2014 and owned a massage therapy business in Illinois for 8 years before deciding to enjoy the much nicer winter weather here in North Carolina!! Growing up, ballet was my greatest passion and I played sports all throughout school. Because of this, I knew what an impact massage could have on the body – both for injury prevention and recovery. It also just feels great! It is my goal to help others keep their muscles healthy while being part of a regular self-care routine. I have a wonderful husband, two crazy dogs, and a cuddly cat! Loving on all of them is my favorite thing to do! When I'm not working or at home, you can find me hiking, kayaking, or listening to live music. I love trying to new restaurants and going to the movies!
