Superpower: Creative discovery and X-ray vision in uncovering your greatest capacities and leveraging them to elevate your mission and amplify your impact!
For more than 25 years, my passion has been connecting corporations, foundations and individuals with the programs and activities around the world that help them fulfill their vision for a better future. I do this through involving high net-worth prospects in the issues that most inspire them, meet their personal and business bottom lines, and align with their social values. With broad experience in several multinational, non-governmental organizations, I work with organizational leadership, their donors, volunteers and prospects to amplify engagement, and drive more money to the mission. My sweet spots are understanding diverse multi-national funding environments so as to leverage fundraising options and constituencies to help causes around the world as well as in maximizing legal structures of nonprofits and social enterprises.
