Our Team

Meet the Advocates Behind the Mission

Who We Are

The leaders behind ACELA Solutions have supported more than 6,000 Catholic schools, dioceses, religious communities, and ministries nationwide—securing transformative leadership, guiding strategic change, and strengthening mission with clarity, courage, and care.

Our team includes both full-time consultants and active practitioners—respected leaders who continue to serve in Catholic education, ministry, and nonprofit roles while generously sharing their time, wisdom, and expertise through ACELA.

Each of us has walked in the very shoes of those we now serve. We bring lived experience, empathy, and perspective to help today’s leaders navigate the same challenges we’ve faced—and the same mission we love. Together, we bring national perspective and local understanding to every partnership.

Our Difference

We don’t just consult—we accompany.
We don’t just advise—we build.

ACELA is powered by mission-driven professionals who combine deep expertise with a spirit of service. Every member of our team sees this work as our ministry, our vocation—rooted in faith, lived through relationship, and committed to long-term impact. Because we’ve sat in these chairs and led from these seats, our counsel is grounded in real-world experience and the realities of Catholic leadership today.

Whether guiding a national retained search, strengthening leadership teams, or designing strategic change, we walk alongside Catholic institutions with integrity, courage, and purpose—helping leaders, boards, and communities thrive in mission and stewardship.
