interim leadership

With the right interim leadership, a development director transition can be an opportunity for growth. Because I’ve led development teams, I can step seamlessly into your department — and not only prevent any slippage in funding, but also mentor your team, look at your systems with fresh eyes, and hand the next leader a smoothly running department.

Experience: Chief Development Officer, Safe & Sound (San Francisco); Senior Director of Development, ScholarMatch (San Francisco & Los Angeles); Development Director, Jamestown Community Center (San Francisco).
