Six Strategic Impact Challenges We Can Solve Together
-
PARTNERSHIPS THAT MOVE MOUNTAINS
“We need stronger collaborations to unlock resources and scale our impact." → Drawing from decades orchestrating major cross-sector initiatives, I help organizations build trust-based partnerships that create lasting change. My collaborations have unlocked hundreds of millions in additional funding while transforming how entire sectors approach impact—from criminal justice reform to workforce development.
-
MEASURING WHAT MATTERS
"Our impact story isn't breaking through, despite the important work we're doing." → I create measurement frameworks that make your work unforgettable and influential. My systems have helped organizations measure billion-dollar initiatives, secure major funding, and demonstrate their true value—while improving outcomes for communities.
-
FROM FRAGMENTED TO FIELD-DEFINING
"Our impact initiatives feel scattered and we're not connecting with key stakeholders." → I help organizations turn good intentions into powerful movements. Having transformed over half a billion in corporate philanthropy into field-defining programs, I build frameworks that marry measurable outcomes with authentic storytelling—turning scattered initiatives into signature achievements that attract resources and drive systemic change.
-
AI WITH PURPOSE
"We need to move beyond the AI hype cycle to create real value and impact." → Having led Google's $75M AI Opportunity Fund and built AI solutions from scratch, I help organizations identify high-value AI opportunities and implement solutions that scale impact while centering equity. My initiatives have equipped over 1 million Americans with AI skills while creating $1B+ in economic gains.
-
LAUNCHING BOLD MOVES
"We need to build something ambitious, but the path from concept to impact isn't clear." → I specialize in turning bold ideas into measurable impact through innovative financing models and strategic partnerships. From the $100M Google Career Certificates Fund to billion-dollar housing initiatives, I've helped organizations architect transformative programs that marry audacious vision with practical execution.
-
JUSTICE MEETS URGENCY
"We need to respond to immediate challenges while advancing equity and systemic change." → From launching landmark racial justice initiatives to designing crisis response frameworks, I help organizations balance immediate action with addressing root causes. The result? Programs that meet urgent needs while building momentum for lasting transformation—like our work with the Equal Justice Initiative that reached 35M+ people.
