Allison Abayasekara
Managing Consultant at THRUUE
Strategy | Culture | Consulting
I love to help people help other people. I spent over a decade in non-profit associations building programs, strategic frameworks, and powerful partnerships that helped organizations achieve their goals. Key areas of focus have been increasing organizational capacity, managing projects, writing grants, leading teams, and lots of public speaking and training focused on workforce development. The vital foundation of my work history has been great relationships with project teams, staff, mentors, and experts. 

Today I use my experience and passion to help teams reconnect to their mission, set a growth strategy, and build the workplace culture that simultaneously allows individuals to thrive and the organization to meet its goals. I bring energy, strategic focus, and an understanding of what makes programs work in the real world to all these relationships.
