Who we are

Bovard Consulting is a boutique strategy and sustainability advisory firm working with mission-driven and professional services organizations to bring clarity to complex decisions.

We partner with nonprofits, foundations, and corporate leaders at moments of growth, transition, or change—when priorities need to be clarified, systems strengthened, or stakeholders aligned. Our work spans strategic advisory, sustainability, and ESG support, facilitation, and thoughtfully designed programming, all grounded in practical implementation.

Bovard Consulting was built with sustainability in mind—not only in the outcomes we support for clients, but in how the firm operates. We take an intentional approach to balancing advisory work and programming engagements so we can remain independent, invest deeply in our work, and support clients over the long term.

Our Approach

We focus on usable strategy and purposeful experiences.

Our engagements are collaborative and tailored, combining senior-level advisory with hands-on execution. We listen carefully, analyze thoughtfully, and work closely with leadership teams to design solutions that reflect each organization’s mission, resources, and real-world constraints.

Whether advising on strategy or designing a convening, our goal is the same: clarity, alignment, and momentum that endures beyond a single engagement.

Leadership

Bovard Consulting is led by Ilse Bovard, Founder and Principal. Ilse brings experience across strategy, sustainability, nonprofit consulting, and program design, working with mission-driven and professional services organizations.

She is known for her calm, structured approach and her ability to translate complexity into clear direction—helping teams make informed decisions and move forward with confidence.
