PARKER STRATEGIES
YOUR PARTNER IN
PROGRESSIVE SOCIAL CHANGE.
SOCIAL CHANGE CAN BE HARD. REALLY HARD.
I enjoy partnering with philanthropic and nonprofit leaders to find ways to overcome challenges and accelerate progress towards a more equitable, just and environmentally sustainable society.
I love figuring out how to take great ideas and turn them into an initiative or policy for real change. I enjoy working collaboratively to take innovative programs and scale and sustain them for larger impact.
I don’t have a cookie cutter approach, and I don’t pretend to have all the answers. But by listening, working together and bringing in other experts who can help, together we’ll find the best way for you to meet your challenges and thrive.
“Parker’s incredible leadership was game changing for us. He helped to really set us up for success. We truly benefitted from his wisdom and strategic capacity. He came in and really guided us through what could have been a lot of difficult change, and turned it into a huge opportunity for growth. We are all stronger for it.”
