For more than a decade, I had the great joy of helping to run an incubator for education-related nonprofits and mission-aligned for profits, serving as a trusted advisor for more than a dozen organizations. Now, as CEO of Good Footing, I work as a strategist helping founders in finance, the arts, education and community development work through vexing issues of all kinds so they can focus on growth and scale.
My mantra for founders: your time is your most valuable asset.
“Peg helped me…focus on my strategic priorities. This had a direct and positive effect on the company's bottom line, as well as alleviating stress and anxiety. She grasped my business's complexities immediately and offered practical solutions to roadblocks. I could not recommend working with her highly enough.”-Nicolas Cano, CEO of LatinET
The faster market forces can align around the energy transition, the quicker we can say buh-bye to fossil fuels. This founder is connecting great projects in Latin America to international finance from the U.S. and Europe. Proud to be supporting his good efforts.
An article I wrote in The Atlantic inspired a group of literacy nerds to create online tools to teach low-income kids how to express their ideas in writing with precision and clarity. I’ve served on their executive board since 2015. The site serves 6 million kids.
The founder (a former teacher) wanted to make sure every public school in NYC had a student run news site. I was all in. Board member. Super-fan.
The founder noticed school libraries were defunct in many schools that had low rates of literacy. I suggested the organization dedicate itself to refurbishing them. The program is off and running!
