Clear direction. Practical execution. Real impact.
Digital strategy for organizations
doing good work.
Guided North brings senior digital leadership to nonprofits, civic organizations, and mission-driven businesses without the overhead of a full-time hire.
About Guided North
Digital expertise,
mission-first mindset
Guided North Consulting was founded on a simple belief: good organizations deserve the same quality of digital thinking as the world's largest companies, without the enterprise price tag or the consultant-speak.
I bring 20+ years of senior digital product, engineering, and platform leadership across for-profit and mission-driven organizations. From building Target's first mobile commerce experience to leading the Open Y platform adopted by 70+ YMCAs across North America, my work has consistently bridged rigorous digital execution with meaningful impact.
Guided North exists to bring that experience directly to the organizations doing the most important work, on a scale and budget that fits.
What We Do
Practical services for the work that matters
Every engagement is scoped for your capacity, focused on what moves the needle, and designed to leave your team stronger.
Digital Strategy
Roadmaps, prioritization, and delivery leadership for organizations without a full-time digital leader. Get clarity on what to build, in what order, and why, grounded in your actual capacity and goals.
CRM & Data Activation
Turn disconnected data into practical insight, better outreach, and smarter operations. We help you make sense of what you already have and build toward what you need.
AI Advisory
Practical AI adoption without the hype. We help you identify where AI genuinely reduces friction or extends your team's capacity, and steer clear of the tools that don't deliver.
Digital Experience Consulting
Improve websites, apps, and service experiences for the people you serve. From UX audits to product strategy, we help you close the gap between your digital presence and your mission.
Who We Serve
Built for organizations doing good work
We partner with organizations where digital impact is mission-critical but full-time digital leadership isn't always in reach.
