BIO
Tina Ruark-Baker is a seasoned C-level executive turned Revenue Growth Advisor and Fractional Leader with 25+ years of experience driving transformational results across sales, marketing, talent strategy, and business development. A three-time business owner who has successfully built, scaled, and sold companies, Tina brings the rare combination of entrepreneurial grit and enterprise-level leadership to every client engagement.
After building an impressive C-level career in corporate America, Tina made a bold decision to walk away from the boardroom to do something far more impactful: help coaches, consultants, fractional leaders, and business owners build thriving businesses of their own. Today, she channels every lesson from two decades of leading high-performing teams, managing multi-million-dollar budgets, and driving revenue growth into a mission-driven practice that delivers real, measurable results.
A true entrepreneur at heart, Tina is equal parts strategic thinker, super connector, and straight-talking advisor who leads with honesty and shows up with purpose. When she is not helping clients unlock their next level of growth, you will find her on the golf course or behind a canvas creating abstract art. In business and in life, Tina plays to win.

Subject Matter Expert
LinkedIn Strategist
I created a game-changing LinkedIn Masterclass for entrepreneurs who want to grow their brand without spending money on ads. You’ll learn insider strategies to elevate your profile, attract ideal clients, define your niche, and build a high-value network through expert-led sessions that drive real results.
Entrepreneurship|Mentoring
I work with entrepreneurs to become the leaders of their journey—confident, clear, and unapologetically bold. I share the real-world “tricks of the trade” I’ve learned over the past two decades in marketing, branding, and business growth. My goal is straightforward: to help you transition from feeling stuck to stepping fully into your power, equipped with the tools, mindset, and strategy to build a brand that makes a meaningful difference.
Revenue Growth Strategy
My focus is on unlocking clarity, creativity, and conversion. I help audiences see beyond surface-level tactics to embrace brand-building as a powerful business accelerator. My approach is both strategic and human-centered, on alignment, storytelling, and intentional positioning that turns audience engagement into measurable growth and momentum, empowering leaders to think bigger, act smarter, and scale with purpose.
Leadership | Sales
Building a strong sales team is one of the most challenging tasks in business, and becoming the kind of leader who inspires lasting performance is a close second. I dive into the fundamental dynamics of high-performing sales cultures: trust, communication, accountability, and clarity. Practical strategies that turn managers into mentors and salespeople into brand champions. Providing leaders with the tools to build teams that not only sell but also stay, grow, and lead with purpose.
Staffing|Talent Acquisition
With 20+ years in the staffing industry, I’ve seen - and lived - it all, from scrappy startups to fast-paced Fortune 500 cultures. One truth remains: understanding how recruitment works now is mission-critical for every company and talent acquisition team. But the real game-changer? Talent branding. I'm the bridge between marketing and recruitment, aligning storytelling with hiring strategy to attract top-tier talent. It’s not just about filling roles - it’s about positioning your brand as a place people want to work.
Let’s do BETTER, together.
As an entrepreneur myself, I know what it takes to turn an idea into a thriving business. I partner with owners to bring their vision to life through branding, websites, and clear, customized strategies that drive visibility and revenue. My focus is simple: help you stand out, connect with the right audience, and grow with confidence. I step in as a trusted partner, guiding you through challenges and building a business that reflects your purpose and potential.
