DAVID LA PIANA is founder and president of La Piana Associates, Inc., a consulting firm specializing in solutions to the strategic issues faced by nonprofit organizations and their funders. Recognized as a leading expert on nonprofit management and governance, David has worked extensively with funders and nonprofits in all sub-sectors.  He has also taught at the University of San Francisco’s Institute for Nonprofit Organization Management and at the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley.

A popular speaker and teacher, David is a regular contributor to the national dialogue on nonprofit and foundation effectiveness.  David has written articles and op ed pieces for major newspapers, and is frequently interviewed by the media for his opinions on trends in the sector. 

David coined the term “strategic restructuring” to refer to the continuum of partnerships—including mergers, joint ventures, consolidations and joint programming—through which nonprofits attempt to anticipate or respond to environmental threats and opportunities. He works closely with major foundations and national nonprofits to promote an understanding of strategic restructuring and the effective use of nonprofit boards of directors.
