## About

I work with nonprofit CEOs, first-time C-suite leaders, and boards navigating high-stakes leadership transitions before they become leadership crises.

Through CKF Collective, I advise organizations on governance, executive transitions, and leadership infrastructure, and coach leaders through job offers, salary negotiations, raises, first 90 days, and decisions about whether a role is truly right for them. Clients have reported successful transitions, significant compensation growth, and returns of up to 16x their investment.

I’m also leading a national mixed-methods study on nonprofit leadership transitions, combining interviews across the sector with survey research conducted with Arts Consulting Group. 

Across my career, I’ve helped mobilize more than $1 billion and held leadership roles at GLAAD, New York Philharmonic, Miami City Ballet, Cooper Union, and The Boys' Club of New York.
