Getting work done with results.

Some organizations need more than advice, they need someone to build the thing. Harbor & Haven specializes in standing up new offices, programs, and initiatives from scratch, bringing structure, strategy, and operational clarity to complex, multi-stakeholder efforts.

Whether you’re launching a new department, designing a civic initiative, or scaling a program that’s outgrown its original structure, we bring the planning discipline and execution instinct to make it real.

Our Wins:

• Built the first-ever Mayor’s Office of LGBTQ+ Affairs in the Southeastern United States, creating a model that later drew interest from major cities including Boston, Chicago, and New York.

• Oversaw multi-phase planning for the Atlanta LGBTQ+ Community Center Initiative including strategy, financial planning, hiring, and stakeholder engagement

• Designed organizational infrastructure across campaign and nonprofit environments.

Harbor & Haven helps manage the day-to-day operations of political campaigns so candidates and senior staff can stay focused on what matters most: raising money, reaching voters, and winning. From internal systems and staff coordination to logistics, vendors, and event execution, we help keep campaigns organized, accountable, and moving.

Too often, political work splits into two camps: people who can shape the strategy, and people who can build the systems to execute it. Our work has required both.

Our Wins:

• Head of Operations on a multi-million-dollar statewide campaign, building the systems, workflows, and infrastructure that keep a fast-moving political operation running efficiently. Oversees staffing, logistics, vendor management, event execution, and cross-functional coordination across the campaign.
  

• Served as a Senior Advisor on LGBTQ+ affairs, human rights, and equity across historic Georgia campaigns for U.S. Senate, Governor, and Mayor, helping candidates translate values into strategy, outreach, and stakeholder engagement.
  

• Led coordination across campaign functions including communications, digital, political, finance, fundraising, scheduling, and field, helping teams stay aligned, accountable, and focused on execution.

Harbor & Haven helps organizations and leaders navigate government at the local and state level, developing legislative strategy, building political support, and managing advocacy campaigns from concept to vote.

With more than a decade of experience across federal, state, and local government, our founder understands how policy moves and what it takes to move it.
