About

Strategic social impact leader with a unique combination of nonprofit operations expertise and corporate consulting experience. Spent the first half of my career running mission-driven organizations—managing budgets, leading teams, and navigating the daily realities of nonprofit operations as Business Manager at New York Theatre Workshop and COO at CurvingRoad Ltd. in London. This operational foundation taught me what nonprofits genuinely need to succeed and how to design partnerships that create value rather than burden.
Transitioned intentionally into consulting to operate at wider scale. Currently Managing Consultant at Taproot Foundation, where I've been promoted twice and now oversee a $2.5M portfolio of Fortune 500 partnerships with companies including PwC, Barclays, General Motors, Walmart, 3M, and S&P Global. Design and execute enterprise-scale skills-based volunteerism programs that mobilize employees globally, aligning corporate CSR goals with measurable community impact. Lead business development for our Advisory Services practice, consistently exceeding targets for client renewal and new partnership acquisition. My work spans the full program lifecycle—from initial strategy and stakeholder alignment through volunteer training, impact measurement, and continuous improvement.
My entrepreneurial track record includes founding and sustaining a private consulting practice for nine years, pioneering the UK's first Living Wage Foundation accreditation for a cultural organization, and leading strategic initiatives including multi-year planning, resource allocation redesign, and cross-departmental program development. I advise with authority because I've lived the operational realities on both sides—designing programs that work for corporate partners while ensuring they deliver genuine value to nonprofits rather than creating additional burden.
Passionate about pro bono models that create lasting local ties between business professionals and their communities. Ready to build and lead social impact initiatives that embed community engagement into organizational culture and produce quantifiable outcomes.
