About Our Team

Gregory Allen Chairman, CEO |
As a 30 year veteran of small and minority business development, I have come across dozens of programs designed to help businesses grow. I have never been as excited, or more convinced that a program could have an impact on small/minority owned business as I am about bartering. Offering a process that eliminates the need for cash truly has the ability to reshape the minority business community and the way small businesses function. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to offer this process to a segment of the market that I have spent all of my professional life serving. |

Camille K. Dykes V. P. Marketing |
After earning my MBA in 2003 and experiencing the effects of corporate downsizing, I became totally disenchanted with the offerings of corporate America. It wasn’t until I was introduced to the world of barter and its ability to create a paradigm shift in minority business that I became excited about my business future again. I can honestly say that working with small & minority-owned businesses and teaching them the benefits of bartering really gets my juices flowing and gives me something to look forward to every day. |

Raymond Valentine, Jr. Regional Director Louisiana |
Managing over 2500 employees for Western Union for 38 years taught me a lot about customer service, and even more about building a successful Business-2-Business Network. After raising my 2 daughters, traveling around the world and helping to build Western Union Telegraph into a household name, I thought I was ready to retire. That is until I heard about BarterLink. Now, I am more excited than ever to bring my knowledge and expertise to what I believe will become the premier barter exchange in the world! |

Jacquetta Smith
Regional Director Texas |
For most of my career I have devoted myself to helping others succeed in business and in life. Through my work in ministry, non-profit organizations and administrative services I have sought opportunities to advance knowledge relative to higher achievement. I am very excited to be a part of the BarterLink legacy and look forward to bringing its dynamic benefits to businesses in Texas. |
| BarterLink Worldwide, Inc. was founded in 2001 to serve the needs of small, minority and women owned businesses. With headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, BarterLink has also established trade groups in Baton Rouge/New Orleans Louisiana and Houston, Texas. Poised to expand into urban markets throughout the south and southeastern United States, BarterLink has become the premier trade exchange for small & minority owned businesses in America. |
| By selling surplus inventory and/or billable hours of service, our members gain market share, while acquiring an asset to make purchases from other BarterLink members. “Barter Credits” earned by BarterLink members can be used to offset current business expenses for item like; printing, web design and management, employee incentives, marketing, signage, legal services and much more. In addition businesses can also use their “Barter Credits” to make purchases that enhance their personal lives. In each instance trade just makes good sense for any business interested in creating a new resource for their business. |
| With a growing number of members throughout the United States, Africa and South America, BarterLink is committed to providing your business with state-of-the-art management, professional support and value added services. You will not find another trade exchange more committed to the success of your business, or that will work harder to make your trade experience a positive one. |
