About Colleen

I’m Colleen Kazemi, an exited founder, former nonprofit CEO, and the founder of Synergy5280, an executive coaching and strategic consulting practice I started in 2013. I work with social impact leaders, nonprofit CEOs, and mission-driven founders, and I’m an ICF-certified coach on Heidrick & Struggles’ leadership advisory bench, where I also coach leaders in tech, energy, and AI. Having built a company, led a nonprofit, and served on nonprofit and for-profit boards, I move easily between sectors and bring practical tools to hard decisions. At SVP Denver, I helped nonprofits get stronger, and I now present workshops on mergers, partnerships, and organizational readiness. My sessions are honest, hands-on, and built so leaders leave with a plan, not just inspiration. I’m based in Denver and travel frequently.
