How I work
Diagnosis before prescription. A defined end from the start.
Most advisory is built to embed. Mine is built to strengthen and step away.
Focus
I specialize in a moment, not a sector
Marque is built around the inflection point: the campaign, the transition, the funding shift, the governance gap. That moment looks remarkably similar across housing, health, arts, education, and advocacy.
The practice is national, secular, and inclusive. I work with established organizations, generally between $1M and $7.5M in annual revenue, whose next decision matters more than their last one.
Diagnosis
It starts with an honest read
Every engagement opens with a readiness read: a structured look at where the organization actually stands on revenue, governance, leadership, and evidence, and the one or two moves that would change the trajectory.
Sometimes the read is the whole engagement. If you don't need more than that, I say so.
Continuity
One advisor across connected work
Strategy, fundraising, board, and leadership are not four separate problems. They are one problem seen from four angles, and they are held here by one person.
Nothing is handed to a junior team. Nothing falls between the seams of competing vendors.
Scope
Bounded scope is a feature, not a limit
Engagements carry a fixed scope and a number you can defend to a board and to funders. There is a beginning, a middle, and an end that is written down before I start.
Capacity stays with your team when I leave. Success is you needing me less, not more.
