Rakia Finley is an American software executive, Women in Tech Leader, full-stack developer, Salesforce MVP, mother, private investor, and philanthropist. She is best known for her work with the Obama Administration on their "Girls in STEM" initiative and continues to develop innovative technology solutions and community initiatives that promote diversity. Named FemTech's 2016 & 2017 Powerful Woman Programmer, she is one of the highest-earning African-American females in the software industry and North America's first black female owner of a private software and product development firm. Rakia was raised by a single mother in Portland, Oregon. On weekdays—after school—Rakia would spend her evening in a cubicle waiting for her mother to get off work. This is where Rakia got her first chance to enter data into a custom database; there was no turning back. At 15 years old, Rakia had convinced the Washington Hospital Center to hire her to help their billing department. After three months, the department reported an increase in accuracy, turn around, and detailed data. After one year of working there, Rakia produced the efforts of a five-person database team and moved their 78% paper process to 10% moving their billing system to over a 98% efficiency process in 2002. By 19, she was the founder of PinStripe Consulting, a database development firm. After delivering over 200 custom database solutions to Virginia and Washington, DC nonprofits, she launched Surge Assembly, a full-service software development firm focused on enhancing company revenues and resources. Her determination for better software-led her to build a custom solution for Starwood Hotels in 2006, making them on the first leading hotel, with virtual booking and room management. Credited with creating a more realistic approach to data, innovation, business development, and solution-based engineering, Finley continues to revolutionize how organizations and businesses utilize technology as a resource for enhancing exceptional growth. By 2010, Rakia had reinvented Surge Assembly with a focus on educating leaders on active engineering and software development, with an underlying emphasis on inclusion, diversity, executive mindfulness, and removing bias. Finley has also emerged as an entrepreneur's dream, delivering products that average receiving over $27 million in acquisition in as fast as six months. In 2015, Finley Co-Founded FIN Digital, a full-service senior-level development firm, building artificial intelligence, natural language processors, software, and hardware applications for over 300 founders and organizations. In 2018, Copper & Vine - a creative solutions agency in the business of reimagining - was formed as an augmentation of the FIN Digital work to blend Rakia's passions: architecting award-winning technologies, making companies that scale, and building brands that produce results.

I grew up as a soap opera fan, always loving "my stories" and so I built my first website in the 1990's on Geocities, because there was not a site out there for fans like me, and I thought there should be a nice place on the internet for us soap opera fans! Now that I'm all grown up, I've been able to carry that passion for building great places on the internet into a career in digital marketing. I love being able to help clients of all types define their voice online, and then help tell that story in their online presence I have also started volunteering with non-profits to help give them practical tips and tricks to help their sites show for the important searches. I've got a lot of knowledge, why not use it. I've never meet a Google map listing I couldn't figure out the problem with, and have been doing community link building since before it was trendy.
