WHO IS SHERIKA WYNTER?

Entrepreneur. Instructor. Tech Professional.

I am the CoFounder & Managing Partner of Thomas & Wynter R&D. My R&D Company currently has 3 subsidiaries: The Slip Guard, T|W Tote and Journacy. My educational background is in mechanical engineering and industrial design from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and University of the Arts, respectively.

My other titles include international speaker, instructor, entrepreneurial coach and corporate employee. I have vast experience in the corporate space, currently working as a consultant, with more than 13 years in product and project management, holding both Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) and Project Management Professional (PMP) certifications. I have vast experience in product development, vendor management and business development.

My approach to life is simple:

“Does this solution solve the underlying problem?”

In 2014, I decided to take my skills to the classroom. I realized my success and failures were well received by those attending my classes and speaking engagements. Sharing experiences not only strengthened my skills but also allowed for me to be seen as relatable, someone people can trust and opened up to. In addition, I found myself wanting to walk the journey with my students; whether it was their desire to change professions or launch of a startup venture.

Out of this desire to journey with others, the Thomas & Wynter R&D Services offerings warm was born.
