I’m humbled to have been a part of the journey of many social enterprises, helping them double or even triple their income within just a few years.
I’m also invigorated by helping allocators source and build relationships with exceptional enterprises, impact funds and nonprofits in Latin America, Africa and the US.
I’ve spent over 20 years in the world of fundraising, economic development and business development, working with social enterprises and founders across the United States, Africa, and Latin America.
In that time, I’ve had the privilege of successfully raising tens of millions of dollars for various businesses, impact funds, and nonprofits globally through integrating a relationship -first fundraising model. My focus has always been on leading growth and profitability strategies and building long-term, trust-based financial partnerships.
My work centers around empowering social enterprise leaders, ensuring they have the financial resources, networks, and strategies they need to bring their ideas, programs and companies to life.
My experience extends across a wide spectrum, from small businesses to nonprofit organizations, and even large multilateral organizations and NGOs.
Each venture has taught me valuable lessons and deepened my commitment to this field.
I approach my work and life with humility, knowing that each day brings new opportunities for learning and making a positive impact.
I will become an ambassador of your cause and an extension of your team. We will deep dive into your company’s current situation to assess its needs, opportunities and challenges. After conducting this thorough analysis we will build financing strategies that bring long term financial partners.
By leveraging my skills as an expert communicator and relationship builder, my background in economics and international development and my extensive network of global funders, capital allocators and social enterprises–I help drive deep impact and revenue growth, setting organizations up to thrive, while streamlining the fundraising journey.
We co-design an impact thesis that guides your business plan. We also bolster your visibility within the social impact ecosystem and help build valuable relationships, partners and networks that enhance your business and impact. For companies based in LATAM, we support your market entry into the United States, helping to provide strategy, implementation and partnerships to replicate your businesses in the U.S Market.
I support capital allocators in placing capital more strategically-particularly within underserved ecosystems that have been historically marginalized.Through trainings, convenings, retreats, conversations and projects, I help allocators build greater understanding of the various financing needs facing underrepresented social enterprise leaders and marginalized communities worldwide. My proximity and deep relationships within various communities globally, fosters a unique opportunity to help funders place capital more strategically and with deeper place-based impact and trust.
