About CLOE
CLOE's programs and services apply broadly, but our niche is the nonprofit and higher education market. Our clients are senior leaders — Presidents, Trustees, Vice Presidents, and C-level executives — and we work as trusted advisors who understand the enterprise perspective, high-stakes decision-making, and how to communicate strategy and vision clearly. Our methodology is pragmatic: efficiency and lean operations without compromising institutional goals, shaped by geopolitical, technological, and societal trends.
Mission Statement
Independent guidance, ethically delivered
CLOE's mission is to deliver the highest quality independent consulting services to nonprofit and educational institutions seeking skilled, ethical guidance in administrative and academic leadership. Our culture is built on trust, inclusivity, integrity, and a shared commitment to helping nonprofits, colleges, and universities succeed.
