I’m a campaigner, organizer, and educator with over 15 years of experience helping movements and mission-driven organizations build power, win change, and strengthen the structures that sustain long-term impact. I lead with strategy, collaboration, and care because thriving organizations and bold strategies are essential to meet this moment.
I currently lead the Canada team at 350.org, guiding strategic direction, managing national operations, and shaping an organizational culture rooted in accountability, care, and justice. I also chair the board of the Organizing Exchange (OrgX), where I’m helping evolve the organizing playbook to grow grassroots power and win lasting climate justice. My board experience extends to Mobilisation Lab, Common Horizon, and the Center for Story-based Strategy, where I’ve helped organizations navigate transitions, build governance capacity, and align mission, finances, and operations.
As a facilitator and coach, I’ve trained thousands of activists around the world through the MobLab Collective, the Center for Story-based Strategy, Progress Toronto, and OrgX. I’ve designed and facilitated dozens of retreats and participatory strategy sessions that help groups find alignment, work through conflict, and move from ideas to action.
My campaign experience includes leading Vote Together, which helped unseat the Harper Conservatives, and Our Time, which galvanized public support for a Green New Deal. At Leadnow, I honed my digital campaigning craft and helped pioneer people-powered election strategies that continue to shape movements across Canada.
Formerly a professor of Government Relations at Seneca College, I love bridging theory and practice to cultivate both grassroots and political leadership. I’m currently studying Collections Management at the University of Victoria to deepen my practice of Armenian cultural stewardship and preserve my family’s archives—work that connects me to legacy, memory, and community.
Alongside my work at 350.org and OrgX, I take on a small number of consulting, facilitation, and writing projects supporting movements, foundations, and changemakers to clarify strategy, nurture leadership, and tell powerful stories that move people to act. I support teams not only in designing campaigns and workshops, but also in building the internal infrastructure, governance practices, and leadership capacity needed to sustain long-term impact. My work combines practical strategy, operational fluency, and care-driven leadership, helping organizations thrive while creating meaningful social change.
I integrate principles of justice, equity, and solidarity into all my work, helping organizations embed these values into governance, operations, campaigns, and leadership development. Whether it’s building organizational capacity, facilitating strategy, or coaching teams, I aim to create systems and spaces where people, ideas, and movements can thrive.
I also collaborate with a trusted network of facilitators, strategists, and organizers who share my commitment to justice, collaboration, and community.
