About WorkStream Nonprofit

“We really appreciated the support we were able to get from WorkStream in setting up our operations. I especially appreciated that this was an org that was familiar with EA / non-profits.

Other than helping us get a clearer overview of everything our organization does, and to prioritize and improve on what we do, I also felt that it was very beneficial to me as an early career ops person, because I learned how to develop structures for a more professional and antifragile organization that I will hopefully be able to apply to more organizations throughout my career.”

– Beatrice Erkers, COO, Foresight Institute

“If you’re feeling overwhelmed with trying to run an organization, I can’t recommend Deena enough. She’s been a great help with both the strategic and tactical levels of management. She has a knack for getting to the heart of the matter. She can help you not only improve how you manage your tasks but also give you insight into how to think about your approach as a whole. Best of all, no matter how stressed you might be feeling, a call with her calm, warm, and competent personality will leave you feeling freshly motivated, reminding you that you’ve got this.”

She helped me identify the strengths of our team members, enabling me to better see how we can work together to best utilize our strengths. She also provided guidance on how to establish workflow, manage tasks allocation to prevent burnout, and prioritize our mental wellbeing. I am very grateful for Deena’s support and would highly recommend her!”

“Deena has been an invaluable partner in keeping CAIS running smoothly during a critical transition period. She provided the stability and operational backbone we needed to keep moving forward, making sure nothing fell through the cracks. Her ability to step into a fast-moving organization and provide immediate structure and support has been a huge asset. I highly recommend her to any organization looking for experienced operational leadership. She played a key role in hiring across multiple areas and handled complex HR challenges with professionalism and care.”

– Oliver Zhang, Center for AI Safety

“Deena’s expertise is invaluable. She has supported our organization in streamlining workflow processes and as a result, saved us over 1,000 employee hours per year through increased efficiencies. She is extremely skilled at distilling processes down to their core steps and defining the actions necessary to move work through to completion. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

– Marie Schell, Conflict Resolution Center of Baltimore County

“Deena quickly surfaced levers, including executive assistant support, and thinking more deeply about our role scopes, and translated them into concrete next steps. The result was sharper accountability and momentum across our work, which should translate into impact for animals!”
