My Story
I believe the world doesn't need more good ideas. It needs more good ideas that become reality. That's why I work alongside purpose-driven leaders who are building businesses, nonprofits, and initiatives that improve lives, strengthen communities, and contribute to a healthier planet. My role is simple: To help turn your vision into reality, your idea to impact.
Why I Created Satori Impact
Throughout my career—from the head of Innovation & Design at the United States Agency for International Development to the CEO of Global Knowledge Initiative — I’ve seen incredible social ventures fail not because they lacked passion, but because they lacked a bridge from inspiration to execution, from idea to impact. I created Satori Impact Advisors to be that bridge. I wanted to build a firm that doesn’t just offer advice but also provides the trusted, strategic, and operational partnership and relationships founders and their teams need to move forward with confidence.
