Your Behind the Scenes Trusted Advisor
I’m Dawn Mullarney—The Unique Connector.
With 20 years in construction, banking/wealth management, IT staffing and leading elite women’s organization, I’m a trusted growth strategist, networking architect, and succession planning expert. I weave connection strategy into every business’s DNA—aligning vision, relationships, and legacy with authenticity and long-game thinking.
Why I Work Behind the Scenes (Instead of on Your Org Chart)
You don’t need another full-time hire—you need someone who sees the whole picture without being part of it.
As an outside advisor, I bring unbiased clarity, industry-crossing insights, and high-trust strategy that internal teams often can't access. I’m not bound by politics or blind spots. I’m here to help you see what’s missing, activate the right people, and move faster—with less noise.
-
As an outsider, I’m not tied to office politics, titles, or history—I’m tied to truth and outcomes. I’ll say what your team might not, and I’ll identify risks and blind spots others overlook. You get honest insights that drive real decisions, not just comfortable ones.
-
With 20 years in construction, wealth management, IT staffing, and women’s leadership, I bring a unique blend of masculine-industry grit and relational leadership. I connect dots others don’t see—offering fresh strategies from one space that unlock growth in another.
-
This isn’t just a network—it’s a curated circle of trust I’ve built over decades. Whether you need a strategic hire, vendor, specialist, speaker, or co-creator, I bring you vetted connections who can be trusted to deliver. You’re not just tapping into people—you’re tapping into momentum.
-
You get high-level strategy without the cost or complexity of onboarding a full-time executive. I step in where needed—with full discretion, speed, and precision. Whether for 90 days or 9 months, I’m your right hand in the background making things move.
-
Transformation doesn’t have to break what’s working. I know how to support change while respecting and reinforcing the culture you’ve built. My work complements your leadership style—never competes with it.
-
I always look through the lens of “What’s sustainable? What endures?” From succession planning to leadership transitions to relational handoffs, I help ensure that what you’ve built keeps working—even after you’ve moved on.
