Rena Dulberg, Principal

RENA HAS THE EMPATHY GENE AND BRINGS IT INTO ALL PARTS OF HER WORK. HER SIGANTURE LINE IS “TRUST THE PROCESS.”

So it wasn’t a surprise that found a way to make empathy part of my career choice. Before starting BOOSH, I enjoyed a robust career in education and social enterprise. I spent nine-years in higher education—where I honed my expertise in leadership, civic engagement, and program management—later applying my skills international development agencies and later running a national nonprofit start-up accelerator. Along the way I became certain what I wanted to do: leverage the powerful combination of empathy and insights to help the leaders make their organizations more impactful.

I went on to earn my certification from the Stanford D School as a Design Thinking facilitator, and soon-after BOOSH was born. I have since been applying these tools to help leaders of mission-driven organizations solve complex challenges. I am an active listener and a naturally strategic thinker. I believe in continuing my own professional journey while helping others; I’ve now successfully completed many courses from IDEO U—in everything from strategy to innovation to systems thinking to change management. BOOSH puts these tools to work with top-tier leaders, executive directors and boards from a diverse array of mission-driven organizations. I am so grateful for the opportunity to combine my natural skill set and my professional training to help key leaders and their organizations move from stuck to strategy.
