I am used to working with non-profit professionals, are you different?

Yes. After working at the epicenters of power, policy, engagement, faith and civil society issues, I have developed a radically integrated approach to philanthropy:  nimble, affordable and solution-centric.

You aren’t a wealth manager or a lawyer right?

Right. I leave the issues of increasing your wealth to your bankers, lawyers and wealth managers.

Based on over 20+ years experience working with an elite clientele, my leadership is proven: — while I research, report, recommend, execute and advise — you are in control; you decide. I provide you with the highest level of accountability as I serve you and your interests at all times.

Who have you worked with?

Forbes 100 philanthropists, leading think tanks & media, White House / Prime Minister / Congressional and Political leaders, stakeholders and decision-makers from grassroots to top campaigns and elected officials.  Diplomatic and Second-Track Diplomacy, Civil Society, Identity, Immigration, Education and  Development Departments/Ministries/Projects.

How do I know if my project is too big or too small for you?

After a conversation, I will be honest and tell you. I work with long-time and start-up funders/ leaders who are interested growth, partnerships, replication and scaling their project regionally, nationally and internationally.

What Sets Me Apart

➢ Experience with the world’s top decision-makers, thought leaders and the most profound reasons for giving money, support and achieving excellence.

➢ Passion is contagious.  Everyone I work with is somebody I want to have over to my home for dinner.

➢ Loving that I’m a cultural-translator.  I ricochet between classes and cultures and speak English, Hebrew, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, some French and a bit of Spanish and Arabic. I also speak with my hands.  I am passionate about the potential of startups, business, civic and faith institutions.

➢ I don’t use power point presentations or jargon. My direct approach saves time and resources.

➢ Reading Viktor Frankl’s book, Man’s Search for Meaning once a year.
