Forging cultures of engagement, transparency, and retention to deliver value and mission success is my passion. My specialty is creating and launching the strategies that drive positive change while optimizing revenues, containing costs, and improving productivity/processes. Leveraging my expertise in managing not-for-profits that operate in a traditional business revenue model, including c(3)s and c(6)s, I build coalitions and foster consensus to achieve overall organization mission and vision on global platforms.
