Clear thinking. Fewer fires.
I help organizations meet the moment by seeing around the corner and thinking clearly before things get messy.
About Me
Hello there! If you’re looking for an experienced strategist, you’ve come to the right place.
I’ve led communications, fundraising, and operations in the nonprofit and advocacy space—both in-house and as an external advisor brought in when things are moving fast, changing shape, or starting to strain under their own ambition.
I’ve held leadership roles at Taxpayers for Common Sense and Stand.earth, and have worked extensively in arts governance and leadership with the Vienna Choral Society. Consulting clients have ranged from New Endeavors by Women to Maid To Clean.
Yes, that’s a wide range. The common thread is helping leaders make clear decisions—and build systems that can actually support them. I build clarity, structure, and momentum for organizations at moments of change. If that sounds useful, let’s talk.

What I Do
My work sits at the intersection of executive leadership, strategy, marketing and communications, fundraising, and operations. I’m often brought in when organizations are growing quickly, evolving unevenly, or carrying more ambition than their systems — and decision-making structures — can comfortably support. I work alongside executive teams and boards on complex, consequential work, bringing clarity, perspective, and steady follow-through when it matters most.
Executive Strategy & Organizational Design
Helping leaders clarify priorities, roles, and decision-making during periods of growth, transition, or reset — so teams know what matters and how to move.
Leadership Counsel & Change Management
Serving as a trusted partner to senior leaders navigating complexity, alignment challenges, and pressure-filled decisions — bringing steadiness, perspective, and momentum when it counts.
Marketing, Brand & Narrative Strategy
Developing clear, credible narrative grounded in real-world judgment about what will resonate, endure, and matter — internally and externally.
Growth & Advancement Infrastructure
Strengthening development strategy, donor engagement, and internal systems to support increasing revenue streams, relationships, and organizational health.
Who This Is For
This work is for organizations that are already doing meaningful work — and want to do it more clearly, sustainably, and effectively.
Typically, I partner with:
-
Nonprofits, advocacy organizations, and institutions
-
Executive directors, CEOs, and senior leadership teams
-
Boards navigating growth, transition, or organizational change
-
Organizations with real scale and complexity, where good judgment and thoughtful leadership make a measurable difference
If you’re looking for a seasoned partner who can help you anticipate challenges, make sense of competing priorities, and move forward with confidence, we’ll likely work well together.
Get In Touch
I work with a limited number of engagements at a time.
If this sounds like it might be useful — or if you’re not quite sure yet — I’m always happy to have a conversation.
