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 take pride in supporting organizations navigate these shifts, ensuring leadership transitions are not only managed, but leveraged for sustained impact. 

Recognizing the unique challenges nonprofits face, I partner with them to build internal capacity through succession planning, leadership development, and organizational growth. 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.

Collaboration, learning, and sustainability are at the core of my approach—equipping boards and staff with the skills, structures, and strategies to lead effectively, now and in the future.  

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