No-Nonsense Consulting

Every non-profit executive I’ve encountered over the past 15 years—whether they work for a large university or brand-new arts organization—has had one thing in common: too much to do and not enough time or resources to do it.

If you have a pressing need for your organization, I can help cross it off your to-do list. Call me for cost-effective service on a project basis.

I’m not one of those consultants who starts the meter and then wastes time telling you things you already know.

I want to help you get something done. Launch that new web site. Apply for a grant application. Plan a retreat for your board of directors. Build your database. Write an article. Set up an online accounting system. Or any other job that calls for strategic thinking and no-nonsense implementation.

With 15 years of experience (small organizations and large ones, non-profit and for-profit, both management and staff positions) I’ve worn many different hats—everything from asking major donors for six-figure gifts to fixing the database so the subscriber mailing gets out. The common thread in all my past work is that I quickly identified the challenge, articulated a vision for how to improve operations, implemented the plan, and left each organization stronger than when I started.

I look forward to working with you.
