Charlease M. Hatchett is the Managing Partner and Chief AI Transformation Strategist of The Hatchett Group, LLC, where she partners with her husband,

J. Harold Hatchett III, to help businesses, nonprofits, healthcare organizations, government contractors, and community organizations eliminate operational bottlenecks, recover lost revenue, strengthen leadership, optimize performance, and strategically implement AI and intelligent automation to maximize return on investment (ROI) and deliver measurable business results.

With more than 25 years of leadership, operations, program management, and organizational development experience, Charlease has served organizations across healthcare, behavioral health, rehabilitation, long-term care, nonprofit leadership, ministry, community organizations, and international volunteer services throughout the United States and the United Kingdom.

Her expertise bridges business strategy with operational execution, helping organizations streamline operations, modernize workflows, improve customer experiences, and implement AI as a practical business solution—not simply another technology investment.

Her diverse professional background provides a unique perspective on how organizations operate—and where they unknowingly lose time, money, productivity, and opportunity. Today, she combines that experience with AI strategy, intelligent automation, and operational systems to help organizations work smarter, improve efficiency, recover lost revenue opportunities, strengthen customer relationships, and build scalable organizations prepared for long-term growth.

In addition to her role at The Hatchett Group, Charlease is the Founder and Managing Partner of the Connected Through Cancer Foundation, creator of the Combat Ready Cancer Ministry at Fallbrook Church in Houston, serves on the Patient & Family Advisory Council for the Dan L. Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center, and collaborates with organizations including MD Anderson Cancer Center, The Rose, and Texas Southern University to advance health equity and community impact.

A survivor of Non-Hodgkin's Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma, Charlease brings the same resilience and determination that defined her personal journey into every client engagement. Her philosophy is simple:

"It's not what you go through. It's how you go through it."

She believes the most successful organizations are built on strong leadership, intelligent systems, operational excellence, and a willingness to embrace innovation with purpose.
