Project Management for
Nonprofits and Values-Driven Companies
01
Plenty of mission-driven teams have big goals. What they lack is execution capacity. When key initiatives live scattered across Slack threads, email inboxes, and spreadsheets, momentum stops.
If nothing changes
The pattern continues: high-stakes launches slip past deadlines, key team members burn out and start quietly looking elsewhere, and funder reports or board updates turn into last-minute scrambles.
With a system in place
Your team hits target dates with predictability. Task ownership is crystal clear, late-night work stops, and leadership gets to focus on strategic growth instead of daily follow-ups.
02
From Big Visions to Daily Execution
I believe leaders shouldn't have to choose between big strategic visions and organized daily execution.
I step in to provide the exact level of project leadership your team needs, whether that's running a specific campaign from start to finish, auditing a stuck workflow, or providing ongoing monthly capacity.
You get senior PM support running inside two weeks, not two quarters.

Fractional PM coverage and leadership
-
Multi-quarter strategic rollouts
-
Cross-functional team alignment
Fixed-Scope Projects (Flat Fee)
End-to-end management for high-stakes, time-bound initiatives with predictable pricing:
-
CRM and software migrations
-
Capital campaigns or major launches
-
System and process overhauls
Targeted Sprints and Advisory
Fast-turnaround, fixed-scope engagements to resolve immediate operational friction:
-
Roadmapping and project rescue
-
Workflow design and tool setup
-
SOP creation and optimization

Translating Strategy into Action
For over a decade, I worked inside mission-driven organizations and growing businesses. Across an anti-trafficking nonprofit, commercial construction business, and corporate operations, I saw the same pattern: great teams with strong strategies, but no system holding the daily execution together.
That system is the part I own.
I bridge the gap between leadership's vision and the team's daily reality. As a PMP-certified project manager and Prosci-certified change management practitioner, I don't just keep complex initiatives on schedule; I build adoption systems so the new processes actually stick after launch.

Step 1: Audit
A 30-minute discovery call to find where your work is stalling and choose the right pilot track for your team.
Step 2: Paid Pilot
A focused 2-week engagement where we solve one immediate bottleneck, whether that's roadmapping a major launch, setting up a tool workflow, or stepping in with fractional PM support.
Step 3: Decide and Scale
With a completed quick win and a clear roadmap in hand, we roll into a flat-fee campaign, an ongoing retainer, or hand off the playbook to your team.

Q: What does fractional mean?
Fractional means you get senior-level project leadership without the cost or overhead of a full-time hire. You get dedicated ownership of your initiatives scaled to your exact needs, whether that’s a flat-fee project, a focused sprint, or an ongoing retainer.
Q: How many hours a week?
We start with a 30-minute discovery call and a 2-week paid pilot to tackle an immediate priority. From there, we choose the model that fits best: a flat-fee for a specific project, an ongoing monthly retainer for continuous capacity, or a targeted sprint for SOPs and tool setups.
Q: Do you only do ongoing monthly retainers?
Not at all. While ongoing retainers are great for steady operational capacity, clients engage me for flat-fee project execution (like CRM migrations or capital campaigns) or one-off advisory sprints (like workflow design and tool audits).
Q: Do you only work with nonprofits?
I lead with nonprofits and mission-driven teams, and I take on values-driven for-profit work too. The job is the same: keep the work organized and moving.
Q: Who owns the work you build?
You do. Once you've paid for it, every workflow and document I build for you is yours.
