The CoInnovate team brings extensive experience in developing leadership training programs for corporations, nonprofits, governmental agencies and academic institutions.

In partnership with the B. Robert Williamson Jr. Foundation, our team developed and co-facilitated a longstanding leadership training program for nonprofits serving children and youth in New York City. We have also created leadership programming for diverse government and non-profit clients, including the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, Exponent Philanthropy, Geneva Centre for Security Policy, National Council for Behavioral Health, and many others.
