Meet Our Team

Larry has spent over 25 years building, leading, and transforming nonprofits from the inside. As a co-founder of NonprofitNext, he brings the perspective of someone who has lived the challenges nonprofit leaders face: managing shoestring budgets, scaling operations during crisis, meeting compliance requirements, and securing new funding. His career spans direct service, program management, and over a decade of executive leadership, complemented by board service at the local, state, and national levels.

A certified AI consultant through Innovating with AI’s rigorous AI Consultancy Program, Larry combines deep sector knowledge with practical, hands-on AI expertise. His People First AI philosophy grows directly from leading nonprofit teams: staff are an organization’s most valuable asset, and they deserve tools that free them to focus on the work that actually matters.

Larry understands tight budgets, overworked staff, and the pressure to demonstrate ROI to funders. He helps nonprofits work smarter without working harder by freeing up capacity, reducing burnout, and letting organizations focus on what they do best: their mission. See examples of his work.

For nonprofit executives, the mission is the driving force. The friction usually lives in the operations behind it: finance, compliance, and HR. Laura joined NonprofitNext to remove that friction, serving as the bridge between an organization’s goals and the fiscal reality required to reach them.

Laura is a Certified Public Accountant with a Master of Jurisprudence in Labor and Employment Law, a rare dual competency in the numbers and the legal frameworks that govern them. As a Certified Economic Crime Forensic Examiner (CECFE), she also knows how to spot weak points in financial controls before they become a problem. She has guided teams through audit readiness, untangled multi-state payroll liabilities, and stewarded the finances of a nonprofit with a $40 million annual budget.

At NonprofitNext, Laura is a partner in organizational health. Adopting new technologies like AI requires a stable operational backbone, and from strategic planning and risk management to talent development and HCM platform implementation, she helps leadership teams build resilient systems, so that while you focus on changing the world, your organization stays grounded in financial stability.
