Since moving to Boston, I have been privileged to serve as a fundraiser, raising tens of millions of dollars for the city's leading cultural and educational institutions, including Harvard Kennedy School, WGBH, Jumpstart for Young Children, New England Aquarium, and Boston Public Schools. As an executive search consultant for Lindauer Global, I've placed development leaders across the country and across the sector that collectively have raised hundreds of millions more to advance education, the arts, health care, and social and environmental justice. While mission is my “North Star,” successful navigation is predicated on my abilities to build genuine relationships and recognize connections and commonalities that lead to high-impact matchmaking in fundraising, recruiting, and talent management.
