SECTION 01. BACKGROUND · WHAT I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED
$80 million
Investments and funding secured, overseen or facilitated. A decade of work spanning the housing, impact investment, and public grants ecosystems.
2000+ guests
Hosted at curated events, happy hours, summits, and conferences. Hosting is one of my greatest passions: whether it is 40 CEOs for a VIP dinner or 400 attendees at an industry gathering.
10+ years
Building mission-driven organizations. I love working with ambitious founders, funders, and leaders to solve problems and develop the ideas that will matter most tomorrow.
Bold ideas executed.
Sticky problems solved.
The big event. The sinking ship. The messy grant. The broken relationship. The product that is stuck on go.
I've spent ten years inside the operations of mission-driven organizations. The through-line in my work has been that people come to me when they don't know where else to turn. From idea to execution, I am your hands-on partner who will get in the weeds with you and your team. Together, we will make decisions step-by-step until the knots are untangled and the way forward is clear.
SECTION 02. SERVICES · WHAT I DO BEST
Relationship Management
Donors. Stakeholders. Funders. Program participants. Partners and colleagues.
Building trust from the top to the bottom of a program is my core alignment. I've been brought in to repair broken trust, build new high-profile relationships, and to reknit strong teams.
Idea Development
I have spent the past ten years working across silos to learn how to bring an idea into reality.
The development of new ideas, and not just how they sound but how they can be executed, is a personal passion. Want to know why? There's a story there. Reach out, and I'll happily share.
Program Diligence
Gathering data and evidence to support a concept is as crucial as the concept itself.
Just as often as I am asked to bring an idea to life, I find myself playing the role of saying, "Let's not." Sometimes the most powerful choice you can make is to reduce, not expand.
Event Execution
I take pride in ensuring that everyone feels welcome in a space that I have designed.
From happy hours to large-scale summits, I can assist with the development of your event in multiple ways. I've hosted several conferences and continue to develop my own virtual and in-person programs.
