Strategic Advisory Services

I work with mission-driven organizations that operate where political complexity, cross-cultural audiences, and organizational growth intersect. My practice integrates three disciplines that most advisors treat separately because in complex environments, they rarely are.

All engagements are fully remote, conducted in English, Spanish, or both, and scoped to fit the specific needs of your organization. I work with a small number of clients at a time to ensure every engagement receives the focus it deserves.

Risk & Growth Analysis

Understanding what is happening politically is not enough. Organizations working in or adjacent to Latin American markets — or serving communities shaped by migration, political instability, or social fragmentation — need analysis that goes beyond standard risk frameworks to include the social and community dynamics that standard reporting misses.

Drawing on field experience at the US Embassy in Mexico City, graduate training in national security, and a Harvard certificate in international relations, I produce strategic assessments that give decision-makers a clearer picture of the landscape — and what it means for their work.

WHAT THIS INCLUDES

• Country and regional risk profiles
• Stakeholder and political landscape mapping
• Early warning analysis on community instability indicators
• Executive briefings synthesizing complex political developments
• Research support for policy communications and global development initiatives

Ideal for: law firms with international clients, ESG consultancies, impact investors, international development organizations, think tanks, and corporate security teams.

Bilingual Strategic Communications

Translation is not communication. Organizations that want to reach Hispanic and Latino communities — or operate across English and Spanish-speaking contexts — need more than accurate words. They need cultural fluency, community credibility, and strategic framing that reflects how their audience actually thinks and makes decisions.

With over two decades of bilingual communication work across the US, Latin America, and the Middle East, I help organizations build messaging that lands — not just messaging that reads correctly.

WHAT THIS INCLUDES

• English-Spanish communications strategy and content development
• Messaging frameworks for Latino and Hispanic community engagement
• Cross-cultural stakeholder communication planning
• Executive ghostwriting and thought leadership content
• Policy communications and advocacy messaging
• Bilingual digital content strategy and editorial planning

Ideal for: US organizations expanding into Latino markets, municipalities, health systems, international development agencies, and advocacy organizations.

Organizational Strategy

Mission-driven organizations often have the vision and the values. What they frequently lack is the operational infrastructure that allows the work to hold — the systems, governance frameworks, and strategic clarity that determine whether a program scales or stalls, whether a team functions or fractures.

I have built organizations from scratch under pressure — standing up a 150-person volunteer operation, guiding a community organization through 501(c)3 transition, and serving as a one-person strategic and operational department at a regional nonprofit. I bring that execution discipline to early-stage and growth-phase organizations that need clarity, not just vision.

WHAT THIS INCLUDES

• Operational infrastructure design — SOPs, workflows, governance frameworks
• Stakeholder engagement systems and community mobilization strategy
• Strategic planning and organizational decision-support
• Project management for launch-phase and growth-stage organizations
• Cross-functional team coordination and capacity planning
• Research support and strategic analysis for program and policy development

Ideal for: social enterprises, B Corps, community-rooted startups, impact-focused founders, and international development organizations building or restructuring internal systems.

Development Strategy & Fundraising

Sustainable mission-driven work requires sustainable funding. With a track record that includes raising $90,000 in five months, securing six-figure corporate partnerships, and building end-to-end fundraising campaigns from strategy through donor acknowledgment, I help organizations build the development infrastructure that supports their mission over the long term, not just the next grant cycle.

WHAT THIS INCLUDES

• Fundraising strategy and campaign development
• Corporate partnership identification, cultivation, and stewardship
• Donor engagement strategy and stewardship frameworks
• Development infrastructure: CRM systems, donor segmentation
• Fundraising event strategy
• Appeal and case-for-support writing

Ideal for: social enterprises, B Corps, international development organizations, gender equity organizations, community resilience organizations, and mission-driven startups.

A note on scope: My services focus on strategy, analysis, communications, organizational infrastructure, and development. It does not include grant writing services. Development and fundraising services are not available to organizations in the perinatal health, maternal health, or child protection sectors. All other mission-driven organizations are welcome to inquire.

How Services Work

Services are available as monthly retainers, project-based contracts, or individual advisory sessions, depending on what your organization needs. All work is conducted remotely.

Every service begins with a scoped agreement that defines deliverables, timeline, and what is included, so expectations are clear before work begins.

If you are working on something that fits within this scope and you would like to explore whether this is the right match, the best next step is a conversation.
