About
I am the principal of Watson Consulting Group (WCG). My firm is deeply engaged with systems change, focusing on the intersection of Child Welfare and housing instability as well as houselessness among the American Indian and Alaskan Native community. I began consulting while serving as the inaugural director of the LASPA Center at Scripps College, a leadership center that prepared young leaders to take on global challenges and advance the role of women in contemporary leadership. Previously, as Downtown Women’s Center’s CEO from 2000 through 2014, Ms. Watson transformed DWC from a small agency serving 300 homeless women annually into a nationally recognized homeless services organization and anchor agency within Los Angeles County serving and housing thousands annually. In her position with the Downtown Women’s Center as well as through prior work with the YWCA, she has developed housing, created workforce development programs, and started three social enterprises. Watson Consulting Group Los Angeles is dedicated to uplifting marginalized communities by providing mission-driven consulting services that support governmental, philanthropic, and nonprofit organizations. WCG maximizes impact through projects that focus on organizational change, leadership development, and systems change work to build a more equitable world.
