Background

About Dennae Pierre

I am experienced at building collaborative teams across many organizations for collective impact projects. My background is in developing high-achieving teams, leadership development, grassroots community organizing, and serving as a visionary-integrator for outcome-based strategies that can impact communities at scale. My work connects grassroots community development with multi-million-dollar institutions, focusing on poverty relief, asset-based development, community organizing, and movement incubation for initiatives that impact poverty and justice issues.I specialize in helping individuals and companies align their resources with meaningful action to create tangible, positive change. I work with organizations to assess the gaps between their brand promise and organizational culture, designing interventions that move aspirational values to become embodied realities. My work has been focused in social and spiritual entrepreneurship, launching and scaling nonprofits, experimenting with new models for human development, designing movement incubators, transforming staff cultures, and facilitating complex conflict resolution.I have worked extensively building and leading diverse, US based multi-ethnic teams, as well as designing global teams across leaders from Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Europe. My passion for cross-cultural collaboration and community-centered solutions informs my ability to design environments where people from varied backgrounds can thrive together and create sustained impact.I especially enjoy leadership coaching and soul care for high-capacity, driven leaders of any faith background. I'm passionate about cultivating community that allows people to encounter spirituality in fresh and authentic ways while designing environments that activate people to meet society's greatest needs.Outside of work I enjoy hiking, reading, backpacking, exploring cities with my husband of almost 20 and camping with any of my 5 kids who will indulge me.
