My first nonprofit Executive Director position almost cratered me when a flood in my third week made all my carefully developed plans irrelevant. But I learned how to get back on track. Since then, I’ve led organizations, teams, and startup programs through crises, growth phases, and major change.
I’ve built programs, partnerships, and teams from the ground up. Sometimes in calm seasons, often in the middle of uncertainty. I’ve led initiatives that turned around struggling funding, launched new services, and strengthened cultures so people wanted to stay and contribute their best.
Those experiences taught me that thriving organizations aren’t just defined by their mission, they’re built on leadership that’s doable in the day-to-day and durable in the long run.
I specialize in helping first-time Executive Directors lead confidently, exiting Executive Directors leave well, and Boards of Directors manage the transition. So you can turn your nonprofit strategy into action, achieve consistent funding, offer a place people clamor to work, and grow impact.
