Linda Fowler, who founded Regionerate LLC in 2009, specializes in high-impact consulting with civic leadership groups, federal, state, and local governments, workforce and economic development organizations, universities, community colleges, and industry to activate and support transformative regional partnerships. Focusing on manufacturing competitiveness, entrepreneurship support, innovation strategy, talent development, smart growth, and sustainable communities, Linda has guided and facilitated regional prosperity and revitalization efforts in emblematic U.S. cities, including West Atlanta, GA; Chicago, IL; Flint, MI; Detroit, MI; Cleveland, OH; Toledo, OH; and SE San Diego. Linda has provided support to the German Marshall Fund as a Senior Non-ResidentFellow for their Urban Policy Program, created strategic partnerships and networks with multiple approaches to economic diversification for regional economies, and consulted on Advanced Industries Strategies for the state of Colorado.    

Currently, Linda works with federal agencies including Commerce, Labor, and NASA to support talent migration, manufacturing community partnerships, economic recovery, and smallbusiness assistance.  For the past four years, Linda has supported NASA on designing and implementing Strategic Regional Innovation Partnerships that leverage the agency’s expertise, technologies, and facilities. Pilot sites include regions across nine states Colorado, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, California, New York, Virginia, and Maryland 

Over the last decade, Linda has supported several entrepreneurial ecosystems, including an Entrepreneurs of color Initiative in Detroit, Michigan for a funder network led by the W.K.Kellogg Foundation. In this role, she assessed the programmatic, cultural, financial, and structural barriers to Entrepreneurs of Color. One of the successful outcomes of the project was a new source of business capital and technical assistance for Detroit businesses owned by Entrepreneurs of Color and businesses committed to hiring primarily persons of color.
