About me

My passion is working closely with leaders of mission-driven organizations to make and implement important strategic decisions.

I have fifteen years of extensive experience with mission-driven organizations including: nonprofits, private foundations, management service organizations, socially responsible businesses, and social enterprises.

My favorite projects

Don't hire me to "consult" -- instead, expect me to quickly integrate as a member of your management team.  I provide extra capacity to help you get the work done -- with a fresh perspective and a new set of skills. I'm a "roll up my sleeves" kind of gal, but I also ask good questions. Hire me if you:

  • Need someone to help you prioritize and make critical decisions;
  • Need a process -- and support -- for productively engaging your clients, funders, partners, board, and staff;
  • Are a learning organization or seek to become one;
  • Are relentlessly focused on how to define, deepen, and broaden your impact;
  • Share my love for this messy and hard work

When our partnership comes to a close: you have a vision, your key stakeholders understand and support this vision, you have a strong plan for implementing it, and you have a clear way to gauge if the plan isn't working (on a regular basis, while you can still change course). Carry on, with clarity and confidence.
