Nuremberg,Bavaria

Summary

I am a strategic leader with diverse, mission-inspired programming expertise. I'm at my best working to devise and develop programs that draw on various stakeholder strengths for impactful social change. I work well across institutional barriers and am adept at incorporating strengths that vary with size and focus.

My passion is finding opportunities to bring together unique resources for scaled and sustainable social progress. Through extensive experience building and implementing authentic “tech for good” and skills-building programs in US and abroad, I've united diverse partners to help businesses and nonprofits deliver impact against their missions and attain organizational growth and success. I've designed programs and pragmatic partnerships to focus on specific population groups, from “out of school” learners to youth and particular disadvantaged populations. I'm energized by working with organizations interested in making positive and sustainable contributions to our world and communities through their actions.
