Hi, there!

I’m Kristi Porter, and I help cause-focused organizations move from scattered efforts to strategic growth. As your Fractional Chief Impact Officer, I’m here to help you measure what matters, communicate results, and maximize your mission—all on your terms and budget. When you go from overwhelm to outcomes, you can do good even better.

ABOUT YOU

You lead a purpose-driven organization with big ambitions, but every day feels like a race against competing demands. There’s constant need (and pressure) to prove your impact, yet you struggle to find the time or tools to track meaningful results.

The complexity of measuring and sharing your social or environmental outcomes leaves you feeling overwhelmed—especially when expectations keep rising, but resources stay the same. At your core, you want to ensure your work truly matters and creates lasting change, but it’s tough to know if you’re moving the needle or simply treading water.

HOW I CAN HELP YOU

As your Fractional Chief Impact Officer, I specialize in guiding nonprofits and purpose-driven companies like yours towards maximizing social and environmental impact. In doing so, I help organizations achieve their goals effectively and efficiently.

Let's work together to create meaningful change and drive sustainable impact for a better world.

what’s possible?

When we join forces, you move beyond the daily scramble and step into a space of clarity and measurable progress. Together, we’ll uncover and celebrate the true impact of your mission, turning your efforts into results that inspire stakeholders, energize your team, and validate your organization’s purpose.

You’ll gain the confidence and insight needed to make strategic decisions, demonstrate your value, and drive lasting, positive change—while finally feeling supported and empowered along the way.

With You Every Step OF THE WAY

Signify was launched in 2016, and provides nonprofits and purpose-driven companies with the expertise and support they need to make a real difference in the world. By offering Fractional Chief Impact Officer services, I aim to bridge the gap for those who want to enhance their social and environmental impact but may not have the resources for a dedicated, full-time position.

I’m here to help you transition from mere intentions to tangible and measurable impact. As a strategist and a helping hand, I step in to empower you when you require additional support without the commitment of a permanent staff member.

At the core of my business lie values such as curiosity, impact, lifelong learning, authenticity, and professionalism blended with a touch of fun. These values drive me to continuously seek growth, deliver meaningful results, and maintain a genuine and enjoyable approach to our collaborations.

WHY ME?

With over 20 years of experience in marketing, public relations, and business communications, I understand the challenges you face in turning good intentions into real social and environmental progress. And in having managed impact efforts for organizations like Vector Global Logistics as well as helping them achieve B Corp status, I know what it’s like to juggle limited resources and high expectations.

My background working across nonprofits and for-profit businesses has given me a unique perspective on developing, measuring, and communicating true impact—so that your internal and external stakeholders clearly see the difference you’re making.

NEXT STEPS

Reach out and say hello. I didn't name this company after myself. Instead, I chose the name Signify to represent the greater things we can do together. You don't need to figure it out—or do it all— alone.

I'd love to champion your cause.

I have always tried to be someone who generously gives back to my community and the world through my time, influence, expertise, and finances. So, it was natural that Signify would be no different. I deeply believe in my mission of supporting cause-focused organizations, and that includes a give-back strategy in those same, four areas. Some of these philanthropic endeavors have been on behalf of clients, and some on behalf of other worthy organizations. These efforts will increase as the company grows, but from Day 1, it was important that Signify embody the same values as those I serve.
