I help mission-driven organizations build trusted brands, grow audiences, solve operational challenges, and find sustainable revenue.

I've spent 20+ years building audiences and revenue in publishing, nonprofit, and wellness spaces. That includes magazines, national nonprofits, a statewide newsroom, and a Main Street group fitness studio that survived the pandemic and a catastrophic flood. Most recently I was CEO of VTDigger, Vermont's statewide nonprofit newsroom, where I led a team of 30 serving more than 500,000 monthly readers and 9,000 contributing members. It was a lean organization doing outsized work, and I wore many hats and stayed close to the front lines.

For nonprofit, media, and other mission-driven organizations, I can help with CRO, CMO, and COO function areas, including the following:

• CRO: Fundraising and earned revenue strategy, sponsorship and underwriting program design, membership program growth, grant writing and reporting
• CMO: Communications and earned media, editorial strategy, marketing (digital and print advertising, social media advertising), website design, newsletter strategy, annual reports and impact reports
• COO: Organizational design, developing an AI policy for your nonprofit, recruitment and onboarding processes, impact tracking and KPI dashboards

Right now I'm doing two things: consulting and talking with teams about fractional and full-time roles where I can make a meaningful difference in advancing their mission. I'm available for short- and medium-term consulting engagements beginning Autumn 2026.
