II translate ideas, capital, and technology into measurable impact. I help organizations manage growth, create clarity, and turn ambitious plans into execution.

Advice is easy. Implementation is harder. That’s where I come in, bringing both strategic perspective and hands-on follow-through as a:

  • Fractional Chief of Staff

  • Fractional Partnerships Leader

  • Strategic Framework & Planning Partner

  • Revenue Strategy Advisor

Every engagement is built around your needs. But to make it concrete, here are three ways we might work together, from a focused sprint to embedded support: small, medium, and large.

Strategic Growth & Partnerships

  • Design revenue strategies that survive contact with an actual budget cycle

  • Build and manage corporate & foundation portfolios — I've taken one from $14M to $36M

  • Structure new partnership verticals from a blank page, not a template

  • Develop growth roadmaps that translate to action and results

  • Own relationships with complex, high-stake partners

30 Days: Portfolio audit / Partner segmentation / Revenue diagnostic / Positioning brief / Priority target list
60 Days: Growth roadmap / New vertical structure / Revenue model / Outreach cadence / Pipeline build
90 Days: Partnership operating system / Revenue strategy playbook / Active high-stakes relationships / KPI dashboard / Team handoff guide

Program & Initiative Launch

  • Stand up new centers, initiatives, or verticals from concept to operating

  • Develop and own the timelines, KPIs, and execution, not just the plan, the follow-through

  • Lead cross-functional teams

30 Days: Concept & scope brief / KPI framework / Stakeholder map / Cross-functional alignment / Launch plan

60 Days: Execution roadmap / Timeline & milestones /  Early wins / Progress reporting cadence

90 Days: Operating the initiative / KPI dashboard / Cross-functional playbook / Ownership handoff / Sustainability plan

Executive & Board Support

  • Brief CEOs, EDs, and leadership teams who need a sharp read, not another meeting

  • Build board and advisory materials that hold up under real scrutiny

  • Navigate the complex, high-stakes relationships that come with the territory

  • Translate between technical, executive, and program teams who need to get on the same page

30 Days: Leadership briefing audit / Priority talking points / Stakeholder map / Decision-ready memos / Meeting prep copy & materials

60 Days: Board & advisory materials / Executive brief templates / Cross-team translation guide / High-stakes meeting support / Relationship map

90 Days: Board & advisory system / Executive communication playbook / Decision framework / Standing brief cadence / Internal alignment guide

Why work with me?

A few examples of what this looks like in practice

I’ve spent my career stepping into ambitious, sometimes messy situations and helping turn them into something fundable, executable, and measurable. A few examples:

$14M → $36M

Building a partnerships engine

As an early member of Khan Academy’s institutional partnerships function, I helped grow annual corporate and foundation revenue from $14M to $36M. Along the way, I helped build the systems, relationships, reporting, and team needed to manage a much larger and more complex portfolio.

The work: Revenue strategy / Portfolio management / Team building / Executive engagement / Stewardship

1.6M learners

Taking a new initiative from idea to scale

I helped build and launch Khan Academy’s financial literacy initiative, working across funding, content, product, implementation, and external partners to turn an opportunity into a major new offering. It reached 1.6 million learners in its first two years.

The work: Initiative design / Partnership development / Cross-functional leadership / KPIs / Launch & implementation

40,000+ students

Connecting philanthropy, AI, and implementation

As Khan Academy began deploying Khanmigo, I helped structure partnerships between foundations and school districts to put AI-powered learning tools into the hands of more than 40,000 students.

The job wasn’t simply securing funding. It meant translating among funders, educators, product teams, and implementation teams so that capital could actually turn into adoption and impact.

The work: Coalition building / AI & social impact / Partnership strategy / Stakeholder alignment / Implementation

From blank page to new business

Building a new vertical at Christie’s

At Christie’s, I developed the business case for launching a new auction vertical in New York and helped translate the idea into an operating sales strategy. The inaugural sale exceeded its estimate by $1.7M and the category became part of the regular auction calendar.

The work: Market analysis / Business case / New vertical development / Launch strategy / Cross-functional execution

$45M sale

Coordinating a high-stakes, cross-functional effort

For a major Christie’s consignment, I helped drive a 20-person process spanning specialists, business teams, marketing, operations, and international offices. The work culminated in a $45M sale that broke the auction category record by $9M.

The work: Program management / Stakeholder coordination / International execution / High-stakes client support

Building the plane while flying it

Launching and operating a new regional presence

As the first Seattle hire for Asia Society, I functioned as the general manager of a new regional center: developing strategy, building corporate and community relationships, engaging an advisory board, creating a year-round program calendar, and handling the operational details required to make it all work.

The result was a functioning platform connecting Seattle leaders in business, technology, policy, and culture with Asia and with one another.

The work: Strategy / Partnerships / Executive engagement / Program development / Operations

Different problems. Same focus on results .

I learn the landscape quickly, identify what matters, get the right people aligned, and stay involved through execution.
