Operational Partner

Executive support for nonprofit leaders

Leading a nonprofit is meaningful work, but it is rarely light. Operational demands grow, decisions stack up, and systems keep pulling attention away from the mission.

I come alongside Executive Directors as an operational partner, reducing day to day friction so leadership has the space to think clearly, lead confidently, and focus on impact.

What changes when we work together

Most leaders are not looking for more ideas. They want steadiness, clarity, and forward movement.

  • Fewer operational fires competing for your attention
  • Clearer processes your team can follow and maintain
  • Stronger alignment across staff and external partners
  • Systems and tools that support the mission rather than distract from it
  • Greater leadership capacity, with more room to plan and guide

How I work

Listen first I start by understanding where the weight is being carried and what is creating unnecessary drag.
Find the real friction I diagnose root causes, not surface symptoms, then prioritize what will create the fastest relief.
Strengthen what already works No disruption for the sake of change. Practical improvements that fit your organization and people.
Steady execution Clear actions, clean handoffs, and consistent follow through so progress sticks.

Experience that supports the work

I bring three decades of operator experience across operations, delivery, systems, sales execution, and team leadership, including deep exposure to nonprofit CRMs and digital infrastructure.

  • Operational stabilization and process improvement
  • CRM and data workflows that teams actually adopt
  • Cross team alignment between delivery, support, and vendors
  • Remote team leadership and practical operating rhythms

Start with a conversation

If this resonates, the next step is simply a short conversation. No preparation needed. Just a practical discussion about what feels heavy and whether having an experienced operational partner would help.
