About John McGeehan Non-Profit Consultant

An organizational architect and “fixer”, I help translate strategy into operational reality by better positioning businesses to adapt to new or challenging operating environments. And by advancing and integrating a wide range of support functions, cultivating partnerships, and delivering creative, collaborative and practical solutions that exceed expectations. I have expertise with all key infrastructure/support functions, critical business processes, and full cycle project and vendor management; with an emphasis on Finance. More importantly, I bring to any role a strong commercial, cost, client and guardianship orientation. And the strategic, analytical, and consultative skills that contribute to successful outcomes. If you are struggling with growth or managing complexity, I can help.
