Chief Wayfinder, Pursue True North | Operations, Strategy & Marketing for Nonprofits

I help mission-driven organizations turn vision into systems that actually run. With 10+ years across corporate strategy, nonprofit management, and large-scale operations — plus a PMP to keep things structured — I bring real operational rigor and a steady hand to the work nonprofits care most about.

I’m a strategist at heart and an operator by training: calm under pressure, big-picture by nature, and genuinely happy untangling messy operational problems. I’m currently engaged with a nonprofit fundraising consultancy, and Pursue True North is built to meet you where you are — from a focused, flat-fee strategy review to ongoing fractional-COO-style support.

I work alongside you, not above you, and I always start with the why. I’d rather help you see the whole map and choose your direction than hand you a one-size-fits-all playbook. Built for where you’re going.

What I can help with:

• Operational strategy and process improvement
• Project and program management
• Strategic planning and prioritization
• Marketing and communications strategy
• Fundraising and donor-journey operations (the systems behind the asks)
• Fractional / ongoing operations leadership
• Flat-fee strategy reviews with actionable recommendations
