Real Relationships.

Real Results.

I’ve spent decades building trust across Central New York and that network is what I bring to every engagement. Whether you’re entering a new market, deepening your community roots, or looking for the right partner, I show up with the relationships, the context, and the follow-through to make it happen.

Here’s how we get to work:

01

Discovery Call

We start with an honest conversation. I want to understand your organization, your goals, and where the gaps are before I say anything about how I can help.

02

Custom Strategy

I build a plan around your specific goals, your market, and your capacity. No templates, no shortcuts, just a clear path forward built for you.

03

Ongoing Partnership

I work alongside your team, making introductions, opening doors, and moving things forward. I show up the way your organization needs me to, and I stay accountable to results.

— what I DO

Ways I Show Up for Your Organization

Each engagement is structured as an ongoing monthly retainer because real relationships and real results take time, context, and consistency.

Strategic
Partnerships

After years embedded in the CNY community, on boards, at tables, and in rooms most organizations are still working to get into, I bring a network that took decades to build. When you need a partner, a sponsor, or a collaborator, I don’t start from scratch. I likely already have the relationship.

WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE

  • Partner identification and alignment
  • Warm introductions & relationship brokering
  • Partnership proposal development
  • Ongoing partner stewardship
  • Cross-sector collaboration facilitation

Business
Development

You need senior-level business development presence but you’re not ready for a full-time hire. I step in as your embedded BD partner, identifying opportunities, cultivating the right prospects, and following through in a way that builds your pipeline and your reputation at the same time.

WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE

  • Opportunity identification & pipeline building
  • Prospect outreach & relationship cultivation
  • Meeting preparation & follow-through
  • Market intelligence & competitive insight
  • Monthly reporting & strategy reporting

Brand Awareness
& Visibility

Being present isn’t the same as being known for the right things. I help you show up intentionally, at the right events, with the right people, and in the conversations that shape how your organization is perceived across CNY.

WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE

  • Brand positioning & messaging refinement
  • Speaking & visibility opportunity sourcing
  • Thought leadership development
  • Community profile building
  • Event presence

Stakeholder & Community
Engagement

CNY runs on relationships. Municipalities, civic organizations, nonprofits, and regional institutions. I’ve worked alongside all of them. I help you build genuine connections across that landscape so that when decisions are being made, your organization is already at the table.

WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE

  • Stakeholder mapping & engagement planning
  • Civic & nonprofit relationship cultivation
  • Government & institutional liaison support
  • Community presence strategy
  • Board & advisory network development

Every engagement starts the same way — with a real conversation.

LET’S TALK ABOUT WHAT WORKS FOR YOU

— Who I Work With

Built for Growth-Oriented Organizations

I work best with organizations that have real ambitions, are ready to invest in relationships, and want a true partner.

Growing Businesses

I work with companies in growth mode that need executive-level business development presence, market visibility, and strategic relationships but aren’t ready for a full-time hire. I bring the experience, the network, and the follow-through from day one.

Nonprofits & Mission-Driven Organizations

I work alongside mission-driven organizations that need the right partners, sponsors, and community allies to sustain their work. I understand both sides of that conversation, and I know how to make the ask in a way that builds lasting relationships, not just one-time transactions.

Professional Associations

I work with associations looking to grow membership, increase regional visibility, and build meaningful industry partnerships. I’ve grown a chamber from the inside, and I know what actually moves the needle and what doesn’t.

Community & Civic Initiatives

I work with coalitions and initiatives that need a skilled connector to bring the right stakeholders to the table and keep them there. I’ve built those connections before working across sectors, bridging gaps, and helping groups move from conversation to action.
