Vigo, Galicia, Spain
Most organizations working toward social change have the mission right — and the infrastructure wrong. Boards that aren’t built for scale. Teams hired without strategic frameworks. Programs designed without evaluation logic. Communities without the architecture to sustain them. After 25 years of doing this work across four continents, that gap is exactly what I close. My experience includes eliminating a $60K inherited deficit, growing philanthropic giving 135% in 18 months, and scaling service delivery to 6,000+ families across eight Texas counties. At LiveGalicia I’ve built a 6,000+ member cross-border community for immigrants, digital nomads, and returning Galicians — organically. My consulting practice spans organizational systems design, people strategy, and program infrastructure — serving nonprofits, foundations, international associations, and social enterprises across the US and EU. Recent engagements: TOM development for a global association across 100+ countries, multi-year strategic planning, APA accreditation, HR infrastructure builds, executive search, and recruitment operations management. I also guide organizations and professionals navigating Web3 and decentralized innovation — translating human-centered values and social impact expertise into emerging contexts where the old rules don’t yet apply.
