I help build and grow mission-driven retail grocery organizations - supporting strategy, launch, store operations, and beyond.
About
I believe that everyone deserves access to the healthy, affordable food they need to thrive. Since 2017, I have been leading retail initiatives that enable communities to access affordable healthy food.
As the COO and senior-most employee at Daily Table, I grew the organization from one store to five brick-and-mortar locations across the greater Boston area, building out all functional areas necessary to support a growing store base that served over 3 million customers.
Since transitioning to a consulting practice in 2023, I have supported similar projects across the country, providing both advisory services and real-world deliverables and outcomes.
Previously, I was a leader in organizations large and small and in both the private and nonprofit sectors - from forestry operations in east Africa to fulfillment operations at Amazon to hydroponic farming in Massachusetts.
Services
I specialize in helping nonprofits, community organizations, and municipalities create and sustain retail grocery operations that serve their communities' needs. Whether you're launching a new community store, strengthening an existing operation, or exploring the feasibility of a food retail social enterprise, I bring comprehensive expertise across all aspects of nonprofit grocery development.
While nonprofit retail grocery is my specialty, I also work with non-grocery small businesses and social enterprises seeking strategic guidance and support building operational excellence.
