Background

About Michael Doherty

I bring a cross-sector and interdisciplinary perspective, a learning and support orientation, and a detailed operational lens to my work as a development professional. Across leadership roles in the nonprofit and for-profit sectors, the core of my professional experience is helping to manage information and learning processes that steward critical funding partnerships and external relationships. I began my professional career in the real estate and community development field, where I worked with market-driven developers and mission-driven nonprofit organizations to study the viability of development projects and revitalization strategies, integrating public and private funding sources into community-driven planning, with a special focus on market analysis, data management, and regulatory compliance. Later, I moved into nonprofit partnership development, deploying my analytical and communication skills in several information management and organizational learning roles in the higher education and philanthropic sectors.
