I work with philanthropists and their advisory teams as they navigate complex philanthropic decisions - moments where intent is clear but strategy, sequencing, or long-term implications are not. My expertise is grounded in nearly two decades as a nonprofit leader.
I previously served as Chief Executive Officer of the Emily Krzyzewski Center, partnering with Duke Men’s Basketball Coach Mike Krzyzewski to build a high-impact, operationally mature 501(c)(3) organization from its founding in 2006 to an organization with an annual budget of more than $4 million.
Today, I work with individuals and families to translate philanthropic intent into durable strategy across private foundations, donor-advised funds, and other charitable structures. Engagements vary by context, but the work is always oriented towards clarity, alignment, and long-term effectiveness.
