Work

I’m a strategic executive with more than 20 years experience helping nonprofits close the gap between what they are and what they could be. Whether it’s rooted in marketing or fundraising, admissions or operations, I’m known for helping organizations get to “yes”: diagnosing what’s holding them back, aligning stakeholders around a vision, and securing buy-in both financial and emotional.

Tactically, this has included:

• Leading a national nonprofit’s comprehensive rebrand, including a new website and multi-channel outreach strategy;
• Directing a multimillion-dollar SaaS project for New York’s largest healthcare provider, leading a global team of 25 through significant scope changes;
• Overseeing design and communications for a national media watchdog, including their print journal, which was twice nominated for a National Magazine Award;
• Bridging deeply divided internal constituencies and repairing trust between leadership, staff, and boards.

Whatever the specific steps, the work is fundamentally about seeing a bigger future than what a team or organization thought was possible — and then building the path to get there. These projects are usually complex and multi-part, so I bring in top-tier creative and technical partners, strengthen how internal teams work together, and collaborate closely with staff at every level. The work we produce is beautiful and rigorous; the process of getting there is honest and human.
