My career path has been non-traditional but purposeful: at the core is thought-partnership with visionary executives to communicate concisely across influential audiences and achieve a compelling mission.I'm wired to constantly learn, see the big picture, and successfully translate complicated issues or products into simple language and next steps. I love to integrate and facilitate people or groups, grapple with ideas and creative solutions, and help high-performing leaders improve their impact. With experience in corporate communications, project management, fund raising, training, and government relations for both non-profits and private sector organizations, I enjoy the challenges of cross-cultural interactions and partnerships. I've combined this with passions for equipping practitioners, research and analysis, leadership development, and social justice. I have extensive intercultural field experience in emerging economies including a deep knowledge of Asia rooted in seven years of residence in India.Top 10 innate strengths: Responsibility, Individualization, Learner, Achiever, Discipline, Analytical, Belief, Harmony, Connectedness, Input (top talents per Clifton StrengthsFinder)Specialties: * Partnership management and relationship building with key influencers in networks* Strategic planning, operations, and project management* Relationship building with major donors and foundations or trusts* Training and consulting on intercultural effectiveness* Advising and briefing executives on interactions with external stakeholders (i.e. major donors, media, boards)* Research and analysis for senior leaders* Issues-based advocacy campaigns* Executive speech preparation and writing* Organizational health and internal communications* Media relations campaigns* Hosting cross-cultural learning visits of dignitariesKeywords: Chief of Staff | Operations analyst | Internal communications | Public relations | Researcher | Change management | Project manager | Development | Facilitator | Trainer
