Mangrove Strategies to Pause Operations for Public Service

I am writing to share that on July 28, 2023, Mangrove Strategies will pause its consulting operations as I step into a public service role.

Over the past year, Mangrove Strategies has had the privilege of serving more than twenty clients across five states. I am humbled by the trust each client placed in us to help tackle complex challenges and advance their important work.

This was not a decision made lightly, but those who know me understand my deep commitment to public service. This new role is an opportunity for me to give back to the community and city I care about in a significant way.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has collaborated with Mangrove Strategies – and especially to my colleague and friend, Julia Ellis. Your work has been invaluable to our success.

While I intend for this to be a pause - not a permanent closure - I do not have a set timeline for a return to our operations.

The spirit of our mission – to help public sector organizations overcome challenges and serve their communities – remains at the heart of what I do. And I look forward to the day when we can resume this work and continue partnering with organizations to make a difference.

Until then, thank you once again for your trust, support, and partnership. I have had so much fun building and leading Mangrove Strategies.

Sincerely,

JD
