# Antonio Naglieri

> Fractional Executive · Communications & Operations · Mission-Driven Growth — Baltimore-DC Metro Area

## Summary

I am a trusted operator and mission-driven communications professional with over 20 years of experience delivering calm execution and principled leadership in high-stakes environments. Throughout my career, I have specialized in bridging the gap between high-level strategy and ground-level execution, often serving as a fractional executive or Chief of Staff during critical growth and transition periods. I have a proven track record of scaling operations and visibility for diverse organizations, from Silicon Valley-backed startups like New Level Work and Rainfactory to established global NGOs like Cultural Vistas. 

My impact is defined by concrete results: I have directed marketing operations for a successful Series A fundraise, managed global studies for Palo Alto Networks, and led operational leadership for an agency generating over $1B in client revenue. I am deeply committed to building healthier workplaces, evidenced by my development of the Organizational Pulse Check tool and my work stabilizing leadership at community health centers and behavioral health nonprofits. Whether I am securing high-profile media coverage in Fast Company and the BBC or scaling digital communities to 75,000+ members, I bring a 'diplomatic tenacity' that unites teams and amplifies impact. Hire me when you need a leader who can navigate complex organizational change, professionalize communications, and drive operational excellence without the ego.
