About Our Founder George Zaninovich
I've spent most of my career inside the organizations and communities I now help others navigate — building coalitions, directing programs, leading teams through change, and doing the kind of relational work that doesn't always show up in a job description.
That experience shapes everything about how I work. I'm not an outside expert who parachutes in with frameworks. I get into the room, pay attention to what's actually happening, and stay until something real moves.
My background spans urban and regional planning, experiential education, community organizing, and organizational transformation. I've worked alongside educators, nonprofit leaders, foundations, and mission-driven companies — always at the intersection of culture, equity, and the hard work of getting people to move together.
