WHAT WE DO
First and Constance LLC is a growth and special projects consulting firm. We help organizations build infrastructure, scale, solve problems, and work through inflection points.

WHO WE ARE
Together, Amy Barad and Beth Lavin offer decades of experience in executive leadership, project management, administration, fundraising, and operations. We both have MBAs from Tulane University’s Freeman School of Business, where we met. We bring a unique skill set as “Chief Everything Officers”; we are consummate multi-taskers, and thoughtful problem-solvers, offering integrity and a high value-to-time ratio to every project and problem we take on. 

OUR CLIENTS
We work with visionary leaders at start-ups, nonprofits, and mission-driven companies, especially during moments of change or acceleration. Our clients are tackling ambitious priorities and need experienced, high-leverage partners to move critical work forward. Rather than hiring full-time executive-level staff, they turn to First + Constance for trusted, multi-faceted support: part project leader, part chief-of-staff, part strategic thought partner.
