Gloria Franqui, MSSS, Principal

As a seasoned CEO and interim executive director, I help health and human services nonprofits strengthen leadership and board capacity, improve operations, develop talent, and plan for long-term success—especially during times of transition. I support organizations as they navigate change with clarity, confidence, and resilience—ensuring leadership transitions are not just managed but leveraged to sustain impact. 

Understanding the unique challenges nonprofits face, I partner with them to build internal capacity through succession planning, leadership development, and organizational assessments. My work fosters a culture of readiness, strategic alignment, and engagement at every level.  

Whether guiding executive transitions or enhancing governance practices, I focus on practical strategies that reduce disruption and position organizations for long-term resilience and effectiveness.

My approach centers on collaboration, learning, and sustainability—equipping boards and staff with the skills, structures, and strategies to lead with strength, now and into the future.  

Helping nonprofits succeed has always been more than just the work I do—it's a commitment rooted in purpose, fulfillment, and the belief in what's possible.
