Meet Olivia,
one of our Associate Consultants.
Olivia Audsley (she/her) supports nonprofits and foundations in aligning strategy, operations, and organizational culture with their values and social impact goals. She brings experience in project management, research, communications, and stakeholder engagement, with a particular focus on equity-centered and community-informed work. Olivia enjoys working at the intersections of social issues, with deep experience in political education, community organizing, and public policy.
At La Piana, Olivia contributes to engagements related to strategic planning, organizational assessment, and collaboration, where she is valued for her ability to synthesize perspectives, manage complex workstreams, and support inclusive processes. Her consulting approach reflects a strong grounding in systems thinking and an appreciation for how power, policy, and relationships shape organizational outcomes.
Prior to joining La Piana in 2022, Olivia served as Executive Assistant at the Karsh Family Social Service Center in Los Angeles, where she played a key project management role supporting strategic planning and cross-functional initiatives. She has also held roles with the Immigrant Alliance for Justice and Equity in Jackson, Mississippi, and with Study and Struggle, a collective focused on political education and prison abolition — experiences that inform her understanding of grassroots organizing and movement-building.
