About

I focus on cross-sector solutions to the most pressing challenges. I have counseled a wide range of organizations including endowments and foundations, private investment fund sponsors, start-up and early stage organizations in both traditional and social enterprise sectors, and tax-exempt organizations. I have experience in investment management, public-private partnerships, impact investing, ESG integration, regulatory, and non-profit law. I also have a broad range of transactional and corporate governance experience across sectors including new financing mechanisms in the energy efficiency and renewable energy sectors and hybrid non-profit/for-profit governance mechanisms.
