Meet Lori

As a seasoned business leader with a diverse background spanning both the for-profit and nonprofit sectors, I bring a unique blend of experience and expertise to the table. My tenure at some of the nation's largest banks honed my ability to navigate complex financial landscapes and develop innovative strategies for turning around underperforming branches, highlighting my proficiency in revitalizing struggling entities.

 

Leveraging this wealth of experience, I seamlessly transitioned into the nonprofit arena, where I have made significant contributions across multiple sectors, including a disease-related organization, a youth development organization, and a community foundation. I became interested in public policy through my own political involvement and then expanded that interest to my professional life. Working at the Alzheimer’s Association, I helped organize state-level advocacy efforts. Upon assuming my role at Junior Achievement in 2019, I made grassroots advocacy a strategic priority and secured nearly $3.3 million in public funds over a three-year period.  

​

My high level of financial and business acumen allows me to provide insightful guidance and effective solutions tailored to the specific needs of each nonprofit client. Moreover, my unwavering passion for continued growth and development ensures that I stay at the forefront of nonprofit trends, enabling me to deliver cutting-edge strategies that drive sustainable impact and success.

 

With a proven track record of delivering results and a commitment to excellence, I am confident in my ability to serve as a trusted partner and catalyst for positive change within the nonprofit community.
