What I DoI support organizations through short-term and fractional engagements, providing experienced project leadership without the need for a full-time hire.Depending on the project, that may mean managing delivery, coordinating internal teams and vendors, overseeing implementation, or helping evaluate proposals and select the right technology partner.

Who I Work WithI work with organizations that have important technology projects to deliver but don't necessarily have dedicated project management capacity.My clients include professional associations, nonprofits, and businesses undertaking initiatives such as:• Website redesigns and digital platform development• Enterprise software implementations and migrations• Membership, learning, and procurement system implementations• Technology integrations and modernization initiatives• Multi-vendor and cross-functional programsEngagements are tailored to the project, from limited weekly support to ongoing fractional project and program leadership.

Experienced Project Leadership, Without the Full-Time Commitment

Technology projects often fall to internal leaders who already have full workloads. Managing vendors, coordinating stakeholders, reviewing deliverables, and keeping decisions moving can quickly become a job of its own.I've managed technology projects from both sides of the relationship: within organizations responsible for implementing new systems, and at digital agencies responsible for delivering them.I bring that experience to organizations that need dedicated project leadership, whether it's a few hours a week of vendor oversight or ongoing management of a complex, multi-workstream initiative.
