Sponsorship Architect, Transforming Partnerships into Purpose, Profit and Public Impact
Over 30 years ago, I entered the world of corporate sponsorship development with one goal: to help my clients grow by connecting them with the right resources and partners.
Since then, I’ve advised a wide range of organizations: brands, NGOs, major events, sports and entertainment properties, government agencies, start-ups, and entrepreneurs. In every engagement, l’ve brought creativity, commitment, ethics, and professionalism, and that will never change.
From community partnerships funding new school facilities to naming rights for major league stadiums; from local tree-planting projects to global climate initiatives; from neighborhood festivals to national tours — l’ve worked across the full spectrum of sponsored properties.
What they all share is a mission-driven team determined to make something meaningful happen. I’m here to help bring those visions to life.
With my new service, I’m focusing more on empowering organizations through training and coaching, in addition to hands-on support. My goal is to help teams develop sponsorships more effectively by applying the principles l’ve refined over decades of hard-earned experience.
I’m committed to supporting a new generation of partnership leaders and building relationships that stand the test of time.
When you’re ready, I’m here. If you think I can help, you’re probably right.
I look forward to learning about your goals, your challenges and discovering new ways to achieve sponsorship success together.
