Shaping voices. Building teams. Bringing clarity.
At Lapicero Consulting, we believe that strategy is not just about what you do. Our name, Lapicero—Spanish for “pencil”—reflects how we work: with precision, curiosity, and a commitment to continuous learning. We don’t arrive with assumptions. We listen, we plan, and we build in a way that aligns with your mission, values, and people.
Lapicero Consulting was founded to answer a common challenge faced by purpose-driven organizations: how to build strong, aligned teams that communicate with intention and strategy. With experience spanning grassroots movements, international development, and cross-sector collaboration, our work is grounded in lived realities. We believe clarity isn’t a luxury—it’s essential. That’s why we partner with teams to uncover what matters most, strengthen internal alignment, and bring their message to life in ways that connect and resonate.
We’ve seen too many strategies that look good on paper but don’t work in practice. Too many teams struggle to align. Too many organizations speak but are not heard. We started Lapicero with a simple commitment: to help people and businesses grow with intention, not just speed.
To be a premier consulting firm and long-term partner to organizations across sectors, helping them build teams, strategies, and insights that leave a lasting mark. We believe in consulting that’s crafted for impact—where growth is led by values, backed by research, and grounded in trust.
Our work is grounded in the belief that organizations thrive when their people are aligned, empowered, and clear on the mission. We don’t drop in with off-the-shelf fixes—we listen deeply, design intentionally, and walk alongside you to create solutions rooted in your unique context. Whether we’re helping you write a winning grant or develop your internal strategy, we bring a human-first approach that values authenticity, adaptability, and purpose-driven growth.
