Transform your mission into action: Inclusive program design that elevates your entire team
Designing and managing multi-stakeholder programs can be complex and resource-intensive. Without proper planning and staff engagement, organizations often struggle to implement effective processes.
Drawing on my 20+ years of experience across philanthropy, local government, and the nonprofit sector, I help city agencies, nonprofits, and foundations overcome these challenges. My expertise in program design, stakeholder engagement, project management, and capacity building enables organizations to understand stakeholder motivations, build consensus, and develop actionable plans. Through participatory processes, enhanced project management, and team coaching, I foster sustainable success.
The outcome? Clients gain ownership of their programs, feel organized to face future challenges, and are empowered to progress independently.
