Born and raised in New York’s Hudson Valley and now living in California, Christy has built, revived and reinvented organizations from the global to hyper local. She has advanced the work of more than 75 mission-driven non-profits, companies, civic organizations, entrepreneurs, and artists over the last 20+ years from start up to growth.


I have seen the impact that can come from having a vision for what you want to create and bringing it to life through collaboration. I set up Bess to sit at the intersection of arts, culture and activism, making Bess a platform for shaping societal change through the work we undertake together.
