About
Every organization goes through seasons — periods of growth, transition, unexpected challenge, and renewal. The key is having the right leadership in place to guide the journey.
With over 30 years of executive leadership experience in the non-profit sector, I partner with organizations as an interim or fractional leader to bring stability, clarity, and forward momentum exactly when it's needed most.
I've had the privilege of working alongside organizations like the MIND Research Institute and the TGR Foundation, raising over $105 million in support. I bring that experience — and genuine care for mission-driven work — to every engagement.
Why This Work Exists
Seasons of Change Leadership Solutions exists to provide experienced, objective, and compassionate leadership to organizations going through short- and long-term transitions.
Transition is rarely a simple handoff. It is often triggered by complex, sometimes sensitive, human realities:
This work is deeply rooted in lived experience. Following the profound loss of her daughter, Samona, and the need to care for aging parents in their final years, Janine navigated the intersection of deep personal grief and immense leadership responsibility.
"Leadership forged not just in the boardroom, but in the reality of human resilience."
Seasons of Change Leadership Solutions was born from a simple but overlooked need: giving senior leaders the freedom to step away during life's most demanding seasons, with the peace of mind that their organization is in good hands — and their role will be there when they are ready to return.

What People Are Saying...
"A true leader leads from the heart with empathy, executes with purpose, and moves with fearlessness — inspiring others not only by vision, but by the courage to care, act, and rise in the face of uncertainty. Janine is all of that and more. She demonstrates relationships over transactions and the value of team success versus individual accomplishments."— Ingrid Ellerbe, Executive Director, Diversity by Doing (DxD)
"Fundraising is part skill, part relationship, and part genuine belief in what you're selling. Janine brings all three, and she makes it look effortless. She didn't pitch. She connected. The result was partners who didn't just write checks — they became advocates. Anyone working in the nonprofit or social impact space who gets the chance to work with her should take it."— Brett Woudenberg, Former CEO, MIND Research Institute
"The right leader at the right moment changes everything."— Janine Koeneke, MA
