Meet the Founder & Business Owner
Jakaria Ross
The Face Behind the Brand
As a Christian entrepreneur, Jakaria Ross is led by God and driven by a heart to help others build businesses that strengthen their faith, serve their communities, and reflect God’s goodness. She believes entrepreneurship is servant leadership, calling business owners to use their God-given gifts, anointings, and callings to make a meaningful impact in others’ lives.

Don’t bury your talents, brothers and sisters. God loves you and wants to partner with you in every area of your life.
I’m an entrepreneur, executive leader, doctoral candidate, Certified
Biblical Life Coach, and the founder of
Faith-Led Founder and
The Global Training Association.
My passion is helping people discover their God-given calling and
equipping them with the faith, strategy, and confidence to build
businesses that create lasting impact.
For years, I’ve worked at the intersection of leadership,
instructional design, workforce development, and entrepreneurship,
helping organizations and individuals turn vision into reality.
Along the way, I realized that many Christian entrepreneurs were
searching for more than business advice. They were looking for
biblical wisdom, practical coaching, and the confidence to build
what God had placed on their hearts.
That’s why I created Faith-Led Founder.
I believe entrepreneurship is more than a career path. It is an
opportunity to steward God’s gifts, serve others with excellence,
and glorify Him through business. My mission is to equip founders
with practical business strategy, Christ-centered leadership, and
biblical principles that empower them to launch, grow, and lead
businesses that honor God.
Whether you’re beginning with an idea or leading an established
company, my goal is to help you move from uncertainty to clarity,
from vision to execution, and from calling to Kingdom impact.
