Darlene B. Lee

Business development and capital advisory professional with 15+ years of experience across financial services, fintech, and partnership-driven growth. I specialize in building and scaling high-performing partner networks, sourcing and structuring capital solutions, and driving revenue through strategic relationship development. Throughout my career, I’ve expanded lender and partner ecosystems from the ground up, supported complex financing transactions across cash flow lending, ABL, factoring, equipment finance, and real estate, and consistently translated market insight into actionable growth strategies. I’m equally comfortable in both B2B and B2C environments, with a strong focus on trust-based selling, clear communication, and long-term relationship value. As the author of Aligned to Influence, I bring a human-centered approach to business development—combining strategy, authenticity, and systems thinking to create sustainable results. I’m seeking a remote role in business development, partnerships, or growth strategy where I can contribute to a collaborative team, build meaningful client relationships, and help scale a company’s revenue and impact.
