For over seventeen years I have simultaneously worked as a grantmaker, grantseeker, and advisor to donors. As Vice President of the Autodesk Foundation, a 501(c)(3) supported in part by the nation’s fifth-largest software manufacturer for personal computers, I gained 10 years direct executive responsibilities for nonprofit operations and finance, as well as major programmatic, strategic, personnel, and funding decisions. For over seven years I facilitated a network of corporate funders (e.g., Sun Microsystems, Apple Computer, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Charles Schwab, Arthur Andersen) who, as a result, were able to share crucial information and develop collaboratively funded philanthropic initiatives. As Board Vice Chair for CompassPoint, the premier technical assistance provider to San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley nonprofits, I had the privilege of leading the organization’s board/staff Technology Task Force for three years. I also played a key role in the merger of the Support Center for Nonprofit Management (San Francisco) and the Nonprofit Development Center (San Jose) by leading the merger committee though a high-risk, difficult, and ultimately successful effort to select a new name to represent the newly merged organization. As a consultant, I work with clients whose interests and giving styles are diverse—individuals, private and public nonprofits, and for-profit corporations. In addition to working with clients individually, I am recognized for designing and managing successful collaborations between businesses, nonprofits, community organizations, educators, government agencies, and private donors. Among the clients I have worked with are:
