As a transformational nonprofit CEO and executive with 22 years of experience, I help organizations maximize their impact through leadership coaching, strategic planning, culture building, marketing and branding initiatives, business development, innovative fundraising, and organizational effectiveness. I've built and led organizations from the ground up to annual budgets of $12M that consistently earn a top four-star rating from Charity Navigator. My leadership at ZERO Prostate Cancer was marked by transformative initiatives. I reshaped the patient experience by pioneering a volunteer and donor affinity program and launched an innovative partnership practice (now widely adopted in the nonprofit sector). I also spearheaded fundraising efforts that resulted in $200M-plus. With a sterling reputation throughout the nonprofit community, I am a nonprofit board member, trusted thought partner, and an executive coach in the nonprofit, tech, and healthcare sectors, where I host CEO roundtables, facilitate and convene in-person workshops, and guide C-suite and emerging leaders in creating impact.My leadership style is built on fostering a culture-first team environment that values being humble, hungry, and smart (empathetic). This approach has led my teams to be recognized in the NonProfit Times’ “Top 50 Best Places to Work for” nine times in the last decade. My core competencies include team building, strategic planning, business development, communications and media outreach, brand development and marketing, innovative fundraising, operations, budgeting, and advocacy.At ZERO, I helped transform a DC-based nonprofit into the nation's leading organization dedicated to men's health. My key achievements Included: 1) Launching a “champions” program that created belonging and engagement throughout a national patient community. 2) Constructing a national chapter program. 3) Starting and growing the nation’s largest event series dedicated to men’s health. 4) Creating the ZERO brand, identity, and voice. 5) Leading the successful acquisition of Us TOO, the second-largest prostate cancer organization in the U.S.; which required careful management, consensus-building with dozens of stakeholders, and a keen understanding of mergers and acquisitions - all during the challenges of a global pandemic. I'm the founder and CEO of Build a Better Nonprofit, where I help NPOs improve their organizational effectiveness, develop partnerships, and elevate their brand. I also coach nonprofit leaders and host peer leadership support groups.
