I first established my strategy consulting practice in 1995 to help senior management teams grow their organizations in a strategic and sustainable way. Growth is my passion, since my entire career has been about building or leading growth initiatives in a broad range of industries. I bring this perspective to nonprofit organizations as well - since they face many of the same challenges of growth and sustainability that for-profit organizations face - albeit with a mission-focus. For over 20 years, I have advised nonprofit organizations large and small, both through pro-bono activity through Harvard Business School Alumni Club's Community Action Partners (CAP) as well as through my own consulting practice. My clients have ranged from national in scale (like Charity Navigator, the New England Aquarium's Choice Catch program, and two divisions of the American Nurses Association) to more local (like the Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology and the Conservation Law Foundation).
With NBTS, we developed a strategic plan to guide the leading organization in its field, developing an innovative and, hopefully, more effective way to work towards a cure. Their “Defeat GBM” collaborative initiative created through this work has begun to show some promise, and the new CEO became actively involved with Joe Biden’s “moon-shot” cancer initiative.
