About

I help organizations and campaigns build the relationships, visibility, and influence that drive long-term success. As Founder & Principal of GGB Consulting, I bring over 20 years of experience across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. My work specializes in: Strategic Relationship Development: cultivating high-value partnerships with policymakers, media, funders, and industry leaders. Communications Strategy: translating complex issues into compelling narratives, including advocacy and crisis communications. Political wins through statewide initiative efforts, legislative victories and grass tops built advocacy. Past engagements include advancing statewide reforms, scaling adoption of innovative products, and positioning nonprofits as trusted authorities. Engagements have included Stanford University’s Center for Deliberative Democracy & Commonwealth Club World Affairs "Table Talks" and Innovate Your State's "Fix California Challenge". Whether through focused strategy sprints, ongoing partnership retainers, or full campaign support, GGB Consulting tailors each engagement to client goals.
