   Organizations always have an important goal to achieve or a big project to complete. Too often, they fall short. Why? Hitting a major milestone requires a unique blend of skills and capacity: long-term strategy, coaching and supporting teams, process and policy development, creativity, and daily operational excellence and execution.I can get you there. I am not your typical consultant or project lead; as an organizational leader for nearly two decades, I have a general, proven track record across multiple domains, with the capability to add unique value across an organization. From starting brand new schools and organizations as an operator and a Board member, to crafting and executing strategic plans, to building new coalitions, to winning public policy campaigns, I know how to make big things happen, and can help your organization make big things happen, too.
