SISU Consultants

Who is SISU? We are vision-driven, innovative strategists with decades of experience across sectors, bringing our expertise to for profit and nonprofit clients through strategic consulting and execution. We offer governance coaching, fractional executive services, and interim leadership assistance to executives and boards. Why choose SISU? We’ve started organizations, grown organizations, and merged organizations. As experienced executives and board leaders, we’ve sat in your chair, balancing the needs of numerous stakeholders, and making tough decisions. We’ve had to reconcile multiple, often conflicting realities while facing complex and risk-filled business opportunities and challenges. We could not have succeeded without sisu, Finnish for determination and resilience. For us, sisu also means optimistic tenacity—not just surviving, but thriving. Seeing beyond the immediate challenge and helping leaders develop an expansive vision of what the future can be. This visionary work requires thinking big—sometimes outside-the-comfort-zone big. It starts with a clearly articulated vision that aligns and engages your stakeholders. This clarity and alignment are crucial. With them, team motivation comes naturally, and a strategy for achieving the vision is more easily created. And the strategies we help you develop are comprehensive, encompassing all aspects of your organization, including governance, operations, finances, fundraising, branding, and public policy. Our work is driven by well-defined outcomes and clear impact. Whether you’re ready to reset your vision and strategy, or you’re searching for an experienced executive thought partner to help advance work currently underway, let’s connect and imagine what’s possible.
