About me
Portia James has been shaking conference room tables for nearly two decades.
A visionary, a powerhouse of a leader, and a pioneer for people of color in her field, Portia shares bold perspectives on the lack of representation for black leadership in the workplace and how it impacts decision-making and strategic execution at the executive level. She is one of few Behavior Analysts to have been featured in both Forbes and Harvard Business Review.
Portia is a sought-after Board Certified Behavior Analyst and Organizational Behavior Management specialist who helps black business owners launch and scale companies that thrive. As the founder and CEO of Behavior Genius and cofounder of Genius Operations, she has served hundreds of staff and families impacted by Autism.
When she’s not shaking tables and shattering glass ceilings, Portia is a wife and mother, a travel junkie, and a red wine enthusiast.
