Why Work with Me?
You've proven your program works. You know what needs to happen next. But six months later, you're still stuck—except now your best staff member just gave notice, your board is asking uncomfortable questions, and you're more exhausted than January. This is a capacity problem.
What It's Costing You
People you're not reaching. Your pilot served 50 people. But 500 need you, and they're going elsewhere—or getting nothing.
Money you're leaving on the table. Funders invest in organizations that execute. When you can't show progress between grant cycles, they move on. That $250K opportunity? They gave it to someone who could deliver.
Your best people burning out. When everything runs through you, your team works harder but accomplishes less. The ones you can't afford to lose are already updating their résumés.
Momentum you'll never get back. That moment when your board was excited and your funder was ready to expand had a shelf life. "They've been talking about this for a year" becomes "maybe they can't actually do it."
You don't need another consultant who gives you a strategy document and disappears, doesn't understand nonprofit reality, or makes you manage them. You need someone who:
Gets in fast. I understand nonprofit dynamics and resource constraints. No lengthy onboarding. I figure out what's blocking you and start moving things forward.
Takes ownership.You give me the goal. I execute it—alongside your team. You stay strategic. I handle the implementation you don't have capacity for.
Builds systems that last. While I'm executing, I'm documenting and training. When I leave, you have infrastructure that works without you being the bottleneck.
Moves on what matters. I help you distinguish between what must be tight (your core impact drivers) and what can flex. We don't get stuck polishing things that don't matter.
The Bottom Line: Every month you stay stuck, people who need you aren't getting help, funders are investing elsewhere, and your team is more exhausted. You didn't get into this work to manage chaos. You got into it to create change.
I help mission driven organizations scale their impact - without scaling their problems.
