With a mix of gratitude and clarity, I am writing to share that after five years I will be transitioning out of my full-time role at Ktisis Capital mid-January.
My time at Ktisis has been formative – shaping not only how I approach philanthropy as a practice, but how I think about power, responsibility, and the role that narrative and strategy play in advancing social change. I have had the opportunity to work alongside thoughtful and caring colleagues turned friends, and to support clients who are genuinely committed to aligning their resources with their values. That work has stretched me, grounded me, frustrated me, inspired me, and it has sharpened my own sense of purpose.
Over these last five years I have learned the importance of holding complexity with care, pairing values with discipline, and treating philanthropy as a relational endeavor rather than simply a transactional one. I have also learned that growth often requires evolution, both organizationally and personally. This transition reflects that ongoing process.
Looking ahead, I am giving myself space to intentionally shape how I engage with this work. I will continue to focus on philanthropy and social change, though in a more independent and flexible way. I will continue teaching, a small piece of work with an outsized impact that brings immense joy, and to collaborate on a range of projects across the field that support movement building, shifting narratives, and enacting systems-level change. I will also stay connected to Ktisis as an affiliated consultant, and I am grateful for the opportunity to continue collaborating in that capacity.
I leave this chapter with deep appreciation for the people who make Ktisis what it is – for the trust, rigor, curiosity, and care that define these friends. I am proud of what we have built together, and I am excited to see how the work continues to evolve.
My goal has always been to enable human flourishing. I have been able to support that through Ktisis, and I look forward to deepening my own humanity and maybe even a bit of my own flourishing in this next chapter.
I’d love to stay connect! Give me a follow or connect on LinkedIn.
