Nonprofit leader with 20 years of leadership experience, creative approaches, and consistent results.
Skilled in program management, strategic planning, organizational culture, and technology.
Passionate about  innovation, continuous improvement, and serving others. 

I've once described my job as finding ways of doing new things, finding ways of doing existing things better, finding ways to stop doing things we should not be doing, and finding and nurturing talent along the way.

Fractional executives aren’t a budget hack.
They’re a strategy move.

Not every organization needs a full-time C-suite yet. But plenty of teams need C-suite thinking right now: especially when the stakes are high and the roadmap is fuzzy.

Fractional leadership is powerful because it brings:
• Clear priorities (so you stop chasing “urgent”)
• Faster, better decisions (with real executive pattern recognition)
• A consistent execution cadence (so plans actually turn into results)

And here’s the underrated win: it helps build your leadership pipeline.
A strong fractional exec doesn’t just “do the job”: they coach, mentor, and develop internal leaders so the organization gets stronger long after the engagement.

If you’re scaling a program, navigating change, or need senior-level lift without a full-time hire, fractional can be the smartest next step.

Curious where fractional leadership fits in your org this year? Let’s talk.
