DeVasha Lloyd is a growth executive, entrepreneur, publisher, and strategic advisor with more than two decades of experience turning ideas, relationships, and opportunities into measurable business growth.
With more than $100 million in career sales, DeVasha has built multimillion-dollar businesses and pipelines, negotiated six- and seven-figure engagements, led high-performing commercial teams, and developed strategic partnerships with Fortune 500 companies, leading healthcare organizations, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and industry thought leaders. Her executive career includes leadership roles with Forbes Books, WebMD, Everyday Health Group, and Castle Connolly Top Doctors, spanning business development, strategic partnerships, healthcare, digital media, publishing, and thought leadership.
An entrepreneur at heart, DeVasha co-founded Real Savvy Media, a pioneering health and lifestyle media company that she helped build and scale through its acquisition by Disney Interactive Media Group. Today, she is Founder & CEO of Elevation Publishing Group, where she works with accomplished business leaders, executives, physicians, academics, and entrepreneurs to transform their expertise into influential books, thought-leadership platforms, and enduring intellectual property.
What distinguishes DeVasha is her range. She is equally comfortable developing a growth strategy with a CEO, negotiating a complex partnership, building a multimillion-dollar pipeline, leading a creative team, positioning an executive for greater visibility, or identifying an entirely new path to revenue. She brings the commercial discipline of a seasoned corporate executive, the instincts of an entrepreneur, and the curiosity of a lifelong creative.
DeVasha is also AI-fluent and embraces emerging technology as a powerful business tool while remaining grounded in something technology cannot replace: judgment, relationships, creativity, trust, and the ability to recognize opportunity.
In addition to leading Elevation Publishing Group, DeVasha works selectively with organizations as a fractional growth and business development executive and strategic advisor, helping companies accelerate revenue, develop strategic partnerships, strengthen go-to-market strategy, and turn ambitious ideas into executable business opportunities.
