J. Russell Fugett, PMP

Over 20 years I've operated across strategy, governance, and execution in nonprofit, government, and private sectors—launching national endowments, coordinating major capital raises, and serving as board trustee and Finance Committee Chair. I work with founders, operators, and executives navigating mergers, acquisitions, capital decisions, leadership transitions, and high-stakes partnerships where the stakes are too high to get wrong.

Most people treat these decisions as one-time events. I treat them as moments that require structured thinking, sound judgment, and pattern recognition from someone who has actually operated in those environments. I've seen what works across different sectors and deal types—and more importantly, what fails. I help you think through the decision architecture so you move with clarity instead of paralysis.
