In 2006, after almost 25 years in the nonprofit sector, I launched a management and strategic consulting practice, now called Mission Plus Strategy.  I focus on alternative business strategies for nonprofits such as mergers, partnerships, collaborations, and earned-income methods for delivering social value.

I am particularly interested and skilled in the areas of start-ups, crisis resolution, and value-driven management, leadership, and decision making.  Most of all, I believe that Mission + Strategy = Social Value, and that nonprofit business strategy is underutilized in achieving mission.  I hope to help change that with this blog and with my work in consulting

Here are links to pages with my background and experience, a list of my clients and some testimonials, and media coverage.
