Welcome to Kennealey Consulting

---

Kennealey Consulting supports leaders of schools and non-profits to surpass their goals and tackle seemingly insurmountable challenges.

Mr. Kennealey is a nationally recognized education leader.  His transformation of Salesianum School was the subject of a joint case at Harvard Business School and Harvard Graduate School of Education. During his tenure as school president, he secured three 8-figure gifts.  Prior to his time at Salesianum, he helped found two middle schools serving racially and economically marginalized students and a non-profit foundation in Rwanda.  He has a BA from Boston College and an MBA from Harvard Business School.  His full bio can be found here. 

Kennealey Consulting is ideal for school heads, non-profit leaders, and emerging/aspiring leaders.  We will set up a regular time (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, etc.) to share goals, challenges, and accomplishments.  These are confidential meetings to discuss your challenges and develop strategies for the most successful outcome.  We will help you address whatever is most critical at the moment which might include role playing for difficult conversations, leadership/organization restructuring, or transformational gift solicitation strategies. 

Ideal for time-sensitive, defined projects.  

• Financial distress turnarounds
• Candid school assessment and improvement strategies
• Reduction in force planning
• Strategic decisions (not strategic planning)
• Crisis response and management

Ideal for engagements spread over a longer duration.  

• Transformational gift strategy and solicitation (7-8 figure gifts)
• Governance and board restructuring 
• Public-private partnership opportunities 
• Team assessment, recruitment, retention, delegation
• Financial and real estate planning

*Kennealey Consulting does not offer Strategic Planning or Capital Campaign assessments or management, but we can assist with identifying and hiring these consultants if needed.
