Accomplished, dynamic, and inspired C-level nonprofit leader with extensive experience guiding non-profit organizations to secure and execute multimillion-dollar grant-funded programs from federal, state, local, and private sources. Throughout my career, I have driven holistic improvement by enhancing operational quality, identifying sophisticated technical solutions, and coaching high-performing teams to accomplish collective goals. As Chief Strategy & Innovation Officer, I provide leadership on issues related to corporate strategy, public affairs, programmatic/mission alignment, operational efficiencies, relationship building, and program implementation. Using skills in evidence-based decision-making, I support the growth of the organization based on information from the primary literature, particularly on matters related to health equity, public health, quality improvement, and patient safety. I forge beneficial collaborations with academia, government, member hospitals, other community-based organizations, and potential funders. I have primary responsibility for competitive grants, including the identification of grant opportunities, development of implementation strategies, identification of collaborators, proposal writing, post-award contract negotiation, and alignment of programmatic and financial strategy. I also nurture highly visible strategic or politically sensitive programs, guiding them to become fiscally sound initiatives that reflect positively on the organization. In past roles, I have catalyzed organizational growth and achieved several rigorous targets, including: » Restructured and nurtured doula programs to achieve a positive impact.» Centered community voice and health equity in our program implementation.» Authored grant applications to receive and manage a portfolio with 650% increase in funding since hire.» Designed and implemented strategic initiatives that created new Departments, DEIB initiatives, and centered community voices.Connect with me if you are looking to network with a proven nonprofit leader who can develop plans and strategies to advance the organizational position, mission, and reach.
