Josh DavidoffBrooklyn, NY

I connect platforms and people to enable a focus on mission.

I help nonprofit teams translate strategy into approachable workflows and clean tech stacks.

Josh Davidoff

I work at the intersection of grants management, process analysis and automation, and practical AI adoption for grantmakers. At the Hollyhock Foundation, I manage grant operations, build reporting and automation infrastructure across our tech stack, and translate messy organizational needs into systems for my team to use every day.

Core competencies

Process analysis & systems thinking

I map how work moves through organizations, redesigning processes so that teams can operate with clarity.

Systems & automation

I build API-driven automations and integrations that knit a tech stack together and reduce time spent on data entry.

Agentic workflow design

I design practical AI-assisted workflows with human checkpoints and clear guardrails to keep staff in the driver's seat.

Business intelligence

I turn operational data into decision-centered dashboards that show live progress on key priorities.

Change & communication

Change management, leadership, and public speaking to bring people along with the systems I deploy.
