What Partners Are Saying
★★★★★
“Nancy is a visionary leader and strategist. At the height of COVID-19, she led the fundraising strategy behind Save the Children’s ‘Safe Back to School’ campaign – a global drive to limit the lasting impacts of the pandemic on children’s learning – and mobilised over $100 million in new raise. She combines sharp strategic acumen, new business development expertise, and an in-depth understanding of global markets with a practical, down-to-earth, ‘can do’ attitude that enables her to work with teams that vary across geographies, cultures, and capabilities. She truly was a critical contributor to our success, and we are still reaping the benefits of her work 5+ years later.”
— Jasmine Jahromi, former Safe Back to School Team Leader, Save the Children.

"Nancy is the definition of leadership. She takes on any and every project--no matter the size--with the same level of enthusiasm and positivity, and out-delivers all expectations. But more than what she delivers is how she does it...with compassion, empathy, and genuine respect for all those around her. She rallies her team and coaches them to excellence. She continues to be one of the best mentors of my career."
— Danielle Tranzillo, Chief Strategy and Growth Officer, The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk
