Meet Uma

Making Museums Work (Better)

Welcome to The Strategic Museum. I’m here to help museum leaders turn operational complexities into smooth workflows. With a knack for solving process and project management challenges (yes, even the ones involving color-coded spreadsheets), I’ll help you resolve siloed working, resistance to change, and management skill gaps, creating a workplace where staff can focus on their strengths—and maybe even enjoy the process along the way.
