Listen before prescribing.
Understand history, context, and the people shaping the work.
Our story
A cultural connection. A consulting philosophy. A commitment to turning shared purpose into meaningful action.

Why the name?
In Lao culture and across Southeast Asia, the Naga has long been associated with water, protection, continuity, and transformation.
For me, the name connects this work to culture, memory, and community. It is a reminder that organizations do not move forward without carrying their histories, relationships, and responsibilities with them.
It also reflects the way I practice consulting: navigating complexity, aligning people and priorities, guiding decisions, and turning shared intention into action.
Founder & principal consultantMeet the founder
My work spans nonprofit leadership, organizational strategy, governance, facilitation, and community engagement. I understand the tension between what an organization hopes to accomplish and what its people, structures, and resources can support.
I bring structure to complex conversations without losing sight of the people and relationships at their center.
NAGA is intentionally personal: a practice built around thoughtful partnership, honest questions, and practical follow-through.
How I work
Good consulting should strengthen an organization’s ability to act, not create dependence on the consultant.
Understand history, context, and the people shaping the work.
Look beneath symptoms and clarify what needs to change.
Create the conditions for honest participation and sound decisions.
Leave behind priorities, tools, and next steps people can use.
The NAGA approach
From understanding the situation to making choices people can carry forward.
