A Note from Uma...

Hi there, I’m Uma Nair, founder of the Strategic Museum and an organizational strategist with years of experience in the museum field. I’ve had the privilege of leading large-scale initiatives, including an operations transformation at a major art museum, and I’m currently writing a book on Project Management in Museums to help professionals like you thrive in this challenging yet rewarding industry.

I know the pressure of juggling competing priorities and the frustration of projects that seem to spiral out of control. That’s why I created this workshop—to give you the tools and confidence to lead projects that not only meet deadlines and budgets but also make a lasting impact on your museum’s mission. You’re in the right place, and I’d be honored to help you take your skills to the next level.

Let’s make your next project your best one yet.

  • Consistently exceeding my expectations, Uma played a key role in developing a strategic plan that considered various factors such as capacity, resources, advancing DEAI initiatives, and gaining senior leadership buy-in.
