Testimonials

“Having been a partner in a global consulting firm (BCG), I've seen many consultants in my career. Naomi is in the top 1%. I would hire her again in a second.”

— LARRY GREEN, BOARD MEMBER, LAB/SHUL

“Naomi is amazing!  I tell people all the time, I was unsure how an organization from “New York City” was going to blend with people from a little ole farming town!  I tell them it was THE BEST!  Thank you for the gifts you have given us…..such growth, clarity, knowledge and support!”

— FRANCINE FOLEY, CEO, UNITED WAY

“As we embarked on the first strategic plan of our vibrant, legacy organization, I was immediately struck by Naomi’s astute ability to understand both our enduring strengths alongside the dynamic opportunities before us.  Her professionalism, ability to nimbly search out the root challenges we face, and impressive grasp of the industry and seismic shifts of the larger world helped both galvanize our team and encourage us to dream and vision.  Our new mission, vision, and strategic plan reflect not only the essence of us but the heart and dedication Naomi brought to every step of this journey.  We are so grateful!”

- RABBI BEN SPRATT, SENIOR RABBI, CONGREGATION RODEPH SHOLOM

“Naomi brought our senior management team and executive lay board committee together for our first-ever meeting to discuss priorities, values, and visioning. She held the entire group together through a powerful and meaningful process, helping us to think creatively and strategically, in ways we’d never done before. She is thoughtful and collaborative, and helped us immensely.”

- DOV BEN-SHIMON, CEO, JEWISH FEDERATION OF GREATER METROWEST NJ

- JONAH GENSLER, FORMERLY OF SUNNYSIDE COMMUNITY SERVICES

“Naomi was key in leading us through our first strategic plan for philanthropy since our foundation’s inception 25 years ago. She is an insightful and thoughtful partner.

- CONNIE KANTER, CEO, SAMIS FOUNDATION

“Naomi was a joy to work with and exceeded my expectations! I felt that she truly understood what we were trying to achieve in a short amount of time and was able to deliver. She asked questions that stretched my thinking and helped inform our strategy, even beyond the discrete project we worked on together. She is a paramount professional, incredibly reliable, and I would welcome the opportunity to work with her again in the future. I believe she could take on basically any project or process we needed her to. '“
