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 two businesses I owned myself. 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, marketing (digital and print advertising, social media advertising), website design, newsletter strategy, annual reports and impact reports
• COO: Organizational design, 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. If you need a quick consult on a discrete issue — like reviewing your ad sales pitch before a renewal cycle, or a second opinion on a newsletter strategy — I'm available to book hourly.
