Building the future on purpose.

Strategic advisory to help foundations and nonprofits turn vision into action.

Whether you’re launching a new programme, creating a grantmaking fund, repositioning your organisation, or scaling a product with global reach, I offer hands-on support to help you move from complexity to clarity.

I work with leaders navigating change: spinning out new entities, refining missions and visions, designing bold strategies, growing high-performing teams, and making hard decisions in high-stakes moments.

You bring the ambition. I help you structure it, stress-test it, and deliver on it. I function as part of your team: think of me as a fractional executive, a second brain, and a Chief Strategy Officer, all in one package.

Why bring me in?

Because some problems can’t be solved in the margins. You’re spinning up a new initiative, rethinking your model, or leading change inside a complex, high-impact organisation. It’s too important to wing it.

This is deep partnership when the stakes are high. I work closely with leaders and teams to bring clarity to chaos, turn conversations into strategies, and help the right ideas rise to the top.

Built around real work

From rethinking mission and vision, to designing programmes or funds, to restructuring teams, I help shape the thinking and build the tools to match.

You get momentum, not just advice

Every day drives decisions. I’ll be working between meetings on frameworks, drafts, budgets, or background research.

A second brain on call

You’ll have direct, ongoing access for questions, feedback, and thought partnership (with a one-day turnaround, always).

Grounded in experience

I draw on years of cross-sector work from philanthropy to product design I've been an Executive Director and a Chief Product Officer. I've worked in the start-up, non-profit, and corporate worlds. I've raised over $30m, granted $20m, and designed myriad multi-million dollar products, organisations, and support programmes.

Let's work together.

What might our partnership look like?

Each engagement is unique, based on your goals, timelines, and internal capacity. Here are two core ways we can work:

Catalyst Package

  • For urgent priorities and rapid momentum.

  • Structured as a 3-month sprint or a 12-month engagement.

  • Ideal for foundations or nonprofits needing to move purposefully on a clear, time-bound initiative.

  • Weekly or monthly strategy sessions.

  • Full support on key deliverables (budgets, plans, decks, etc.)

  • Offline collaboration on research, analysis, and frameworks

  • Structured tools to maintain pace and focus

  • 1-working-day email response

  • Best for time-sensitive launches, transitions, or pivots.

Collaborator Package

  • A consultancy-style engagement focused on delivering outcomes.

  • Ideal for organisations tackling deep, structural questions—mission, model, or market.

  • Custom deliverables tailored to your needs

  • Strategy documents, financial models, team structures, vision rewrites, and more

  • In-house workshops to align staff and stakeholders

  • Confidence, clarity, and a roadmap for what comes next

  • Best for bold, organisation-wide transformation.
