Clarity | Excellence | Experience

Annie Sanchez, New Mexico-based consultant, event planner, strategic planning and project manager.

I bring over 20 years of down-to-earth leadership and an unparalleled capacity to bring people together to get things done.

Known for building trust quickly, rallying people around ideas and getting projects off the ground — especially when the stakes are high or path isn’t clear.

At this time, I’m seeking a business or community development role with a creative mission-driven team, either on staff or contract.

“I've worked with a lot of people with ‘stuff and fluff’ — they can smooth talk, sell it to upper management and get recognized but in the end what gets done? With you, I admired how you really got things done. I always had complete confidence in you. No doubts.” ~Former direct report
