WHO I WORK WITH
You're probably here because something isn't working — or because something is working and you need a plan to protect it.
I partner with nonprofit executive directors, boards, and leadership teams at inflection points. Organizations that are ready to be honest about where they are — and serious about where they want to go.
Turn your vision into verbs™
Data-driven. Deeply human.
Strategy without execution is just conversation. Every engagement ends in decisions, deliverables, and a team that knows what to do Monday morning.
I come to every engagement with surveys and assessments. I also know that data can't tell you everything — and that the most important conversations almost didn't happen. I know how to hold both.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Noah has been instrumental to the organizational change we have seen at Project Implicit. From process improvement to operations and finance to board development, he has been my trusty co-pilot and collaborator for over two years.
Amy Jin Johnson, Executive Director, Project Implicit
Some say that you never know what you need, until its standing right in front of you. Well, in my case "it" was Noah Spiegel and he was literally sitting in front of me having lunch. It was at that moment that I knew I was in the presence of someone who not only was knowledgeable about nonprofits but also well connected enough to help our team during the most challenging moments.
