About Elena Gustavson
I’ve spent twenty years working with nonprofits and businesses on the parts of organizational life that are genuinely challenging. I’ve been an ED. I’ve managed cash flow on a tight margin. I’ve advised organizations through growth, transition, and the occasional mess.
That range of experience shapes how I work: practically, without a lot of unnecessary process, and with real respect for how much leaders are already carrying.
