First and Constance LLC

WHAT WE DO First and Constance LLC is a growth and special projects consulting firm. We help organizations build infrastructure, scale, solve problems, and work through inflection points. WHO WE ARE Together, Amy Barad and Beth Lavin offer decades of experience in executive leadership, project management, administration, fundraising, and operations. We both have MBAs from Tulane University’s Freeman School of Business, where we met. We bring a unique skill set as “Chief Everything Officers”; we are consummate multi-taskers, and thoughtful problem-solvers, offering integrity and a high value-to-time ratio to every project and problem we take on. OUR CLIENTS Our ideal clients are ambitious executives with critical priorities needing extra bandwidth to advance. They are determined, driven leaders that are at an inflection point and in need of extremely productive, high-level thought partners to tackle important projects. (That’s where we come in!) Our clients run start-ups, businesses, and nonprofits that could benefit from project and chief-of-staff-like support to maximize their impact.
