When COO Team Founder, Lori M Ruffin, MBA, left a Fortune 100 company to help a start-up marketing agency serve international nonprofits, she worked with brilliant organizations who were ruthlessly committed to their mission, but under optimized in their operations.

Nonprofit leaders felt strapped for resources. They were trying to execute big missions – in some cases – with small teams. Some lacked the internal systems, processes or expertise to increase the effectiveness of their operations.

She decided to help.

She started working with nonprofit leaders to understand their vision and mission, develop a solid executable strategy and the supporting systems to help them scale the impact of their mission.

After years of serving private clients, she launched the COO Team to leverage a team of experts to help non-profit leaders optimize their resources and accelerate their impact.

The COO Team is now taking a handful of social impact leaders through our 90-day Strategy Academy to create a personalized executable strategic blueprint.
