👋 Hi, I'm Mollie. 
I help people design & facilitate important gatherings.

 I’m a convening designer and executive coach who has spent more than a decade refining the art of how groups come together—to drive action, build alignment, or simply to build the trust and understanding that make meaningful collaboration possible.

I served as a consultant to The Rockefeller Foundation’s Convenings & Networks team, where I designed gatherings at The Bellagio Center and helped to co-author their Convening Design Guide.  I love to rethink how we spend our time together and have facilitated gatherings across sectors—from Community roundtables to leadership offsites to field-level gatherings that align funders and changemakers around complex challenges. I'm especially known for my Jeffersonian-style dinners, having designed and hosted 300+ high-impact and high-connection gatherings.

I believe convenings are too important (and too expensive) to be treated as routine events, and I genuinely love jumping in to help others succeed and ensure every moment of shared time delivers on it's intended purpose.   

My background spans partnerships, leadership development, facilitation, and executive coaching, along with a first career in finance and investor relations at PwC, Avenue Capital, and Bridgewater Associates.  Most recently, I served as VP of Strategic Partnerships at Flatiron School, where I built alliances to expand meaningful learning opportunities for adult learners.
