Marta Rubin Kiesling

Theatre geek, puzzler, foodie, and self-reflector. People gatherer and organizer who likes to re-charge through bike rides, solo explorations, and embarrassingly bad piano playing. Addicted to thrillers - let’s just leave it at that.

An innovative and process-oriented collaborator and problem solver, Marta is a National Standards for Excellence Institute® licensed nonprofit consultant and serves as a Engagement Team Leader with Dunleavy.

Marta’s background includes serving as an attorney in the large law firm, consulting firm, and financial worlds, and as a founder, executive director, and board member for a range of nonprofit organizations. At Dunleavy, her work encompasses strategic planning and organizational assessments, executive search, interim leadership support, fundraising and special events (including campaigns and feasibility studies), board development, leadership facilitation/coaching, and communications, among other areas.
