I believe organizations thrive when equity guides their work, strategy is clear, and leaders feel supported. I partner with nonprofit organizations, foundations, and government agencies to turn big goals into achievable action plans and to build the systems and leadership they need to grow with confidence.

While each engagement is tailored to organizational context and need, most follow a clear, disciplined structure:
1. Clarify the moment and mandate
Define the core challenge, decision authority, and success criteria with leadership and/or the board.
2. Assess realities, not just aspirations
Review documents, conduct targeted interviews, and assess capacity, risk, and constraints.
3. Define priorities and execution path
Together, we establish clear priorities, roles, timelines, and decision points—grounded in what the organization can realistically deliver.
4. Lead implementation and coordination
Partner with leadership to develop actionable plans, refine policies, and engage stakeholders while maintaining transparency, coordination, and accountability across teams and partners.
5. Transfer knowledge and reinforce ownership
Engagements conclude with clear documentation, knowledge transfer, and structures to ensure continuity, learning, and sustained progress.
