I help organizations figure out what’s actually broken.
Then I help them fix it.

Independent consulting at the intersection of strategy, systems, and policy,
for situations where the problems are not obvious and the stakes are real.

What I do

I work with organizations that are:

• stuck between policy and practice,
• buried under processes that no longer serve them, or
• technically functional but operationally failing

My work focuses on identifying where decisions stall, responsibility diffuses, incentives conflict, and risk hides in plain sight.

I work with you to understand the structures and limits of your organization, and to develop a clear, executable path forward.

How this usually works

Engagements typically start with a short conversation via Zoom. After that, I conduct focused assessments of your documents, workflows, and constraints. Deliverables are written, concrete, and prioritized according to your business needs.

Even if many of the challenges organizations face are common, every business is unique. Fees depend on scope; short diagnostic consults are available. A typical engagement without outside agency involvement may range from $1,000–$5,000, inclusive of fees for any preceding consults.

Certain variances, such as certifying formal French documentation for legal and medical use, or establishing government interfaces, may necessarily incur additional fees. Any such expense will be clearly discussed beforehand, and will always be optional. Your agency and decision-making authority always remain a priority.

Who this is for

Small organizations, nonprofits, founders, and civic, academic, or medical-adjacent institutions that know something isn’t working but can’t align on why.

If you already have everything figured out, congratulations! I’m probably not very useful to you, though I admire your work.
