About Jesse

Experience behind
the advice.

I bring 20 years working with political and membership-based not-for-profit organizations, including the last 10 in senior management.

That experience spans complex multi-year budgets, HR in unionized workplaces, membership services, building fundraising teams, governance and day-to-day organizational operations.

I know what it takes to balance competing priorities, support teams and deliver under pressure with limited resources. I bring that practical experience to helping your organization move forward.

The support
that fits.

Experienced advice, a defined project or a single deliverable. Flexible, remote support scoped around what you need, without the overhead or commitment of a full-time senior hire.

Advice & Strategic Support

A sounding board for a difficult decision, help working through a challenge or ongoing guidance as priorities evolve.

Short-Term Projects

Hands-on support to lead or complete a defined piece of work, with a clear scope, timeline and outcome.

Writing & Deliverables

A report, budget, plan, presentation or piece of content—one-off work delivered when you need it, ready to use.

Let’s make
