About Me.
I’m Stacie Freasier, and I created c3 Catalyst in 2015 to formalize my practice and offerings to the world.
My background includes 20+ years of nonprofit leadership and management across all functional roles. I’m like a cat with 99 lives, or the Johnny Cash song “I’ve Been Everywhere, Man”. If you put me in a room with others, I will map our connections in 20 minutes. My role in the larger social ecosystem is weaver and guide.
Reach out if you need a spark in your project, initiative, or organization. I’d love to connect.
