Massive Impact. Human Scale.

Advisor to executive leadership of NGOs, foundations, and social enterprises

Our world is facing a set of unprecedented, interconnected challenges to people and planet. Addressing the resulting inequalities is complex, and does not fit squarely into the way the global humanitarian and development systems are organized. As leaders, true systems change requires having the audacity to challenge the status quo, form unlikely alliances, work outside the confines of your sector, and make tough decisions on evolving your own organization.As advisor and thought partner to executive leadership of NGOs, foundations, and social enterprises, we take on this complexity, tackling things of real consequence. We find opportunity in the tough strategic and operational challenges. Jointly, we imagine possible futures, design new ways of working, and help operationalize your vision through building unusually effective and equitable organizations, initiatives, and alliances.

With you, we reimagine and reinvent how the sector works, keeping our shared humanity at the center.
