About Kevin Rachlin

I build organizations and make programs work.Over 15 years, I\'ve taken startups from concept to execution, restructured teams to improve performance, and secured more than $250 million in federal funding through strategic program development. I\'ve managed budgets from $1M to $15M, led teams of 2 to 15+, and built the operational infrastructure that turns good ideas into sustainable impact.What I do well:→ Stand up new organizations from scratch—financial systems, HR processes, vendor relationships, performance tracking→ Restructure existing teams to improve cross-functional collaboration and decision-making→ Manage complex stakeholder relationships across federal agencies, foundations, and partner organizations→ Translate strategy into operational reality while maintaining financial discipline→ Build coalitions that actually get things doneI\'ve worked across international development, global health, education, and peacebuilding—but the throughline has always been operations: how do you build something that works, sustain it, and scale it?
