Meet Our Team

Willow Ridge Global added important, short-term capacity that was critical to our organization’s growth. They were a trusted partner from the start- interacting with our external partners and members to gather important insights that ensure our approach was in alignment with both our growth strategy and our new partners’ needs.

Elizabeth Zimmerman helped us develop our Theory of Change and Strategic Plan at the Colorado Department of Education. Her support and leadership kept us on track, ensured that we included all voices and resulted in a thoughtful and coherent plan that we use to guide our work.

Susana Córdova Commissioner, Colorado Department of Education

Working with Willow Ridge Global was a game changer for Start Lighthouse. Together, we created a financial tracker that I still use today to manage our budget and forecast with clarity and confidence. The process was easy, collaborative, and genuinely supportive. I always felt like they were as invested in our success as we were.
