WORK HISTORY
Senior Director of Conservation Operations @National Forest Foundation
The Senior Director of Conservation Operations guides the strategic stewardship of NFF’s conservation business systems and processes, ensuring coherence and a user‑centered approach. Rather than simply managing workflows, the role shapes the vision for how grantmaking, procurement, contracting, and payment systems connect—and works across teams to align policies, strengthen collaboration, and honor compliance expectations. Supported by deep partnerships with Finance, Field Programs, Awards, IT, and Executive Leadership, the Senior Director serves as the primary owner of conservation business process redesign and the development of NFF’s next‑generation conservation investment data system, advancing readiness and shared ownership across the organization.
