About
Candace Fortson spent 20 years leading projects and operations before founding IcareJobPair LLC. She did not come from a consulting firm. She came from the work itself, starting in project leadership and operations management, then spending the last 7 years managing and delivering corporate and government contracts where she learned exactly where delivery breaks down and why.
She holds PMP certification and brings direct federal prime contract experience with USDA and . She architected the PM-BASE Framework from the ground up as a proprietary delivery infrastructure system, not borrowed methodology. Every engagement she runs is designed to end with the client stronger and fully independent.
