Maybe you’re a CSR, ESG, responsible sourcing, sustainability, or impact director and your team has a great idea but you don’t have the bandwidth to support them.

Or you’re in sourcing, marketing, or HR and want to make your corporate sustainability statement a reality.

Perhaps you’re leading Employee Resource Groups and need an expert consultant, or you’re in the C-Suite, ready to move from one-off CSR activities to real, strategic impact.

No matter your role, if you want to drive profit and make the world a better place, I can help you achieve real impact-so you and your team, not an outsourced firm, get the credit.

“From 1 to 10, we would rate the support we received from Shoshana a 10.”

Frequently asked questions

  • Three things stand out:

    1. My roots are from the nonprofit world, which means that first and foremost I make sure that corporate impact is grounded in the voices and needs of the community. From there, I layer on corporate priorities and materiality.

    2. As a meditator and yogi, I bring a mindful leadership approach to all my work–  thoughtfulness, kindness and optimism.

    3. I simplify the complexities inherent in this work into something very manageable and doable.

  • I have 15 years of experience working across the for-profit impact space and the not-for-profit space. Over these years, I have:

    • Worked with milk and fresh produce value chains, as well as in diversity initiatives and social marketing campaigns.

    • Worked on SDGs 1-8, 10-13, 16 and 17.

    • Had first-hand experience in multinational corporations (ex. Danone), in non-profit project management, communications and fundraising (ex. in Mexico) and in marginalized communities (ex. rural Ecuador).

    Social and economic impact are my jam, no matter what angle you come at them from, and I have trained and coached companies from Europe to the United States to Latin America.

    I bring this full perspective to respond to what you need, and I have the humility to ask questions when there is a part of your business I am unfamiliar with.

  • I am passionate about companies building the internal expertise to design their own projects.

    That said, I recognize that there are some instances where bandwidth limitations simply make this impossible. For those cases, I offer the “Hands On Booster”, to take off your plate key tasks in project design, like defining your impact indicators, developing your pitch deck, and identifying potential operational and funding partners. Let me know if you are interested in this additional level of support.

  • With over a decade of experience fundraising for impact projects, I will absolutely guide and support you in getting your project funded. Once we have designed a fundable project, we will together identify the right funding strategy, and then identify potential co-funders and develop a great pitch for you to use right away. And along the way, if I know funders that I think will be excited about this kind of project, I will absolutely connect you.

    Today, more and more, foundations and bilateral funders are excited to fund corporate impact projects. Do keep in mind that funders will always expect you to co-finance a significant portion of the project, particularly for the pilot stage.

  • My experience has shown that external PMs have limited capacity to move the levers within a company necessary for any project to advance. For this reason, I never serve as the project manager, and strongly recommend you have a mid-level manager in this role.

  • No, this is not my area of expertise.

  • No. Things like analyzing your supply chain data, defining your corporate ESG metrics, and defining the best calculation to determine your adjusted gender pay gap are outside my areas of expertise.
