About Jade Sharify Talbot

I’m a marketing and operations leader focused on helping organizations grow through clear strategy, strong storytelling, and scalable systems. As co-founder of an East Bay real estate team, I’ve helped build and grow the business from the ground up—leading brand strategy, marketing, and operational initiatives that support sustainable growth. My work spans narrative development, content and messaging strategy, and the systems and workflows that allow teams to operate efficiently as they scale. Across real estate, education, and entrepreneurship, I’ve built messaging frameworks, marketing systems, and operational processes in fast-moving, resource-constrained environments. I’m particularly drawn to moments of growth or transition, when teams need clearer structure, shared language, and thoughtful strategy to move forward with confidence. Earlier in my career, I spent a decade in K–12 education and education startups as a teacher and instructional coach. That experience continues to shape how I approach marketing and operations today—grounding my work in clarity, empathy, and strong systems thinking, and informing how I collaborate with leaders, creatives, and cross-functional teams to build work that lasts beyond launch.
