Interim Executive Leadership

I help mission-driven organizations navigate their leadership transitions with clarity, vision and an entrepreneurial spirit. My personal mission as an interim leader is to provide stability through transitions, and to empower your incoming leader with a solid foundation and clear path forward so they may have a more joyful leadership experience. 

As a social entrepreneur, I used my skills to turn around a program that closed due to a cash flow crunch. I revived it with a $1,000 donation and grew it into an award-winning nonprofit securing over $4.3M in cumulative funding over a 12-year period. During my tenure, I built a talented team, refocused services to new markets, and created innovative and scalable programs serving over 2,000 low-income immigrant women from 44 different countries in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I then spent 12 years coaching and supporting leaders working in human rights, juvenile justice, environmental justice, conservation, reproductive rights, art, culture, business, architecture, design and science. 
 
I use my seasoned experience as an executive director, leadership coach and turnaround manager to help steward organizational vision, nurture culture, optimize operations and coach staff during transitional periods. I also use my innate creativity to bring fresh, innovative ideas to organizations seeking to expand their impact.
 
My interim roles encompass operations, programs and fundraising functions tailored to meet the unique needs of your organization.

New Programs/ Start-Ups

I conduct feasibility studies, focus groups, market research and assessment for the start-up and development of your new social sector initiative or program.  I then design the program in collaboration with team and stakeholders and oversee strategic direction.  I coach your organization on implementation, and advise on evaluation and metrics to measure its success.
