Sharon k. gillenwater
Tech Startup Founder, Business Executive & Author
"I needed to build my personal brand and audience online and hired Nadia to guide my digital communications. She created a digital strategy for me that established my positioning and content strategy online, built my website, and supported me on video content creation to establish a solid base of valuable content. She serves as a guide and subject matter expert that helps me bring my ideas to life, and provides direction, her own ideas, and updates for me on what's trending and new in social media and how I can best leverage it to further build and engage my online community. ”
David Chiu
San FRANCISCO CITY ATTORNEY & FORMER Assemblymember (AD-17)
“Nadia is a wonderful project manager. She brings structure to chaos, manages juggling the needs of many different stakeholders, and communicates effectively both internally and externally. She is someone who can turn a vision into reality and make it successful.”
Jennifer Berger
executive director, About Face
"Nadia helped me identify my nonprofit's parent audience/market, confirming my own hunches and expanding on them considerably. As I implement her recommendations, our outreach will be more precise, allowing us to reach our audience more effectively. And her calm, focused demeanor helped focus me — our meetings were always value-packed!”
Philippe Sion
Managing Director, Humanity UNITED
“Nadia helped our organization gain alignment and develop a path forward around a complex and long-stagnated project. She quickly got herself up to speed on both substance as well as the history and culture of our organization, and was able to expertly walk alongside a varied group of stakeholders with wide-ranging interests. With care and diplomacy, she was able to help us identify challenges, come to shared points of view, and outline the best way for our organization to move ahead.
Our organization is stronger on this work because of her.”
BILAL MAHMOOD
ENTREPRENEUR & fORMER candidate for assembly district 17
“Nadia is the heart, mind, and power behind any project she works on. I've worked with her across politics to nonprofits to organizing, and in each venture she displays one of the most impressive commands of project management, x-team collaboration, and communication design.
Of the thousands of people I've worked with over a decade in technology and policy, her focus on ethics and empathy, with organization and depth, truly set her apart. There is no project I would not trust her to lead.”
barry reicherter
global intelligence chief, finn partners
"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Nadia at FINN Partners, and with her as the lead consultant on a project in which I needed the best person onsite with the client. In all these roles, Nadia’s drive to improve process, put the utmost quality into deliverables, and serve as team culture & talent advocate make her my go-to person.
It’s so rare to find someone who possesses all the smarts and talent you could ever wish for with the commitment she brings. You’d be smart to work with Nadia if you have the chance.”
meredith dodson
CO-FOUNDER & executive director, san francisco parent coalition
"Nadia is so talented and wonderful to work with. She significantly improved how we use communications to connect with our community, and was quick to help when we ran into issues. Her guidance built confidence in how SF Parents presents itself publicly.
Additionally, she didn’t hesitate to step in when we needed help beyond communications—including training for our board."
YESENIA SANCHEZ
ALAMEDA COUNTY SHERIFF
"Nadia was the kick-start to what would become a historic victory in my campaign for Alameda County Sheriff. Nadia drew from my personal lived experiences, career and vision to create a narrative and framework for a successful campaign. Nadia followed up with providing a strong social media presence and video development I still receive compliments on.
I will always be grateful for Nadia’s guidance and strategic thinking.”
MORGAN HOOK
public affairs & crisis communications executive
"I desperately needed to upgrade my public-facing professional presence, and Nadia not only delivered exceptional results for these goals, but also explained the strategy behind her revisions. She gave me very clear guidance on what she needed from me to get the results I wanted, explained the how and why of the material she developed for me, and was incredibly patient, kind and encouraging throughout the process.
I would strongly recommend Nadia to anybody."
MEGAN IMPERIAL

Nadia has an exceptional teaching style and a genuine passion for empowering others.
