About

Hi, I’m Rebecca - the founder of The Progress Partner.I bring a quiet confidence and steady presence that helps leaders feel grounded and supported. I started The Progress Partner for people who care deeply about their work: business owners, nonprofit leaders, and visionaries who need someone they can trust to move things forward, whether it’s a big vision or the next step.I’ve worked in both the for-profit and nonprofit worlds. I spent years in high-net-worth wealth management, supporting multi-generational business owners and helping clients make thoughtful, values-driven decisions. Today, I help lead a national nonprofit focused on small-scale commercial fishermen, where I manage fundraising and the day-to-day coordination that keeps our team aligned and on track.I’ve seen what’s possible when passionate people get the support they need, and I love being that support.
I turn ideas into action, structure into momentum, and chaos into clarity.
Through it all, one thing has stayed the same: I care deeply about the people I work with and the communities they serve. I’ll do whatever it takes to get the job done - whether that means building the plan, managing the details, or staying up late to make sure everything’s right.I’m proud to call Central Ohio home and love working with small businesses and nonprofits in the region and beyond. I bring calm, clarity, and follow-through, so you can lead boldly and breathe a little easier.If you have a project in mind or just need help sorting through the moving parts, I’d love to connect.
