ABOUT TABATHA LAVERTY
I lead mission-driven organizations with clarity, strategic vision, and a deep commitment to measurable impact—drawing on more than 15 years of cross-sector leadership in the nonprofit, public, and innovation sectors.As an executive leader, I’ve led complex organizations through growth, transformation, and renewal. I’ve secured over $28 million in purpose-driven funding, launched 8 new national and international programs, and guided cross-functional teams across strategy, operations, fundraising, marketing, and program delivery to achieve ambitious goals.I work at the intersection of impact and innovation—helping organizations align around a bold vision, deliver high-performance outcomes, and remain deeply connected to the communities they serve. My approach is grounded in collaborative, transparent leadership, building resilient teams and cultures rooted in equity, trust, and accountability.I have deep experience working with Boards of Directors, advising on governance, strategic planning, and organizational risk, and I specialize in aligning diverse and complex stakeholders—from funders and policy partners to donors, entrepreneurs, and community leaders. Whether leading a strategic plan, a funding proposal, or a new program launch, I focus on cultivating long-lasting relationships that fuel sustainable growth.At the Accelerator Centre, I’ve helped shape two multi-year strategic plans, led a full organizational restructure, launched a major donor strategy, and championed an EDI framework that surpassed inclusion targets and increased women-led participation to 53%. I also led a digital transformation and brand repositioning that elevated our national presence and built strong cross-sector partnerships.Above all, I believe in the power of storytelling and alignment—when leaders communicate with purpose and clarity, they create momentum, strengthen trust, and unlock lasting impact.Key Impact Areas• Executive Leadership & Cross-Functional Team Management• Strategic Planning & Organizational Growth• Board Governance & Stakeholder Alignment• Equity-Centered Culture & Inclusive Leadership• Fundraising, Revenue Diversification & Donor Engagement• Government Relations, Public Policy & Cross-Sector Partnerships• Mission-Driven Storytelling & Long-Term Relationship Building
