About Dayvonne A.

I\'ve never walked into an environment and asked how do we grow. The question I\'ve always asked is: How do we think about the work. How do we approach it. What\'s actually happening in the space. Where do we sit inside it. What do we have. What do we need. Did we build this right from the start and if not, how do we course correct without burning what\'s working.That question has followed me across every sector, every business model, every environment I\'ve ever worked in, from advertising to catalogs to ecommerce to digital platforms to telecommunications to nonprofit.The same thinking showed up outside of work too. I founded School Genie when I saw what NYC families couldn\'t access in the high school admissions process. I built the guides, the scoring rubrics, the navigation system from scratch. Moved placement rates from 1-2 students per graduating class to 30% across supported families. Same discipline. Different domain.That discipline has a name now. Revenue Growth Architecture (TM). And it\'s the lens I bring to every engagement.The conditions are never perfect. The discipline holds.Across sectors, that\'s looked like this- Built a workforce intelligence newsletter that re-engaged alumni and surfaced $1.345M+ in vocational and employment opportunities per issue, approximately $18.8M across 14 issues, generating the click-through data and partner credibility that secured 35 strategic partnerships in 90 days and activated pathway access within 8 months - Rebuilt a stalled college access platform from to users by designing the production structure, partnership ecosystem and data-driven acquisition system from scratch, reducing cost per acquisition from $200+ to $15 - Inherited a one-sentence idea paper and launched a first-of-kind UGC platform with shared revenue infrastructure across company, users and nonprofit partners, responsive across desktop, mobile and SmartTV, in 89 days with no promotion budgetI\'m currently open to full-time, contract, and part-time opportunities with nonprofit and mission-driven organizations, particularly where program strategy, partnership development, revenue architecture, or organizational clarity are the actual problem. Available now. Through New Work Mission, I also work with a small number of $5M–$25M organizations where the revenue conversation isn\'t adding up the way the strategy says it should. newworkmission.com | NYC Metro
