Summary
I'm a translator between sectors who works with nonprofits, social enterprises, and mission-driven organizations, blending leadership, strategy, and philanthropy to deliver results that are ambitious AND fundable. Over 30+ years, I've changed how organizations approach funding and strategy, from managing major product lines at Kaplan, Inc. to working with Fortune 500 CEOs at a national CEO Institute. This experience includes coaching leaders, serving in interim executive roles, building programs from scratch at NC State University, and exceeding ambitious campaign goals. I've closed a $50M gift at Yale and raised over $100M across institutions. One dean said I helped "position the college to achieve remarkable things." Another leader stated, "I was her boss—but she was my mentor." My approach builds on existing assets while being realistic about sustainability and funding. I focus on strengthening foundations - the roots that determine whether tactics will actually work. And I don't just develop plans - I help you achieve them. My clients are visionary leaders ready to move mountains. Let's talk!
