“Leadership is defined by the decisions we make.
Decision Integrity™ ensures they hold." -Carolyn Mozell
Carolyn Mozell is a governance and decision strategy advisor with more than 20 years of experience working with public section leadership across nonprofit organizations, government agencies and education institutions. She partners with executive directors, presidents, boards, and senior leadership teams to strengthen decision-making, clarify ownership, and improve follow-through on strategic priorities.

​
She is the creator of Decision Integrity™, a practical framework used to assess decision risk and align strategy with accountability. Her approach supports organizations navigating growth, leadership transitions, funding shifts, and complex stakeholder environments.
​
Carolyn previously served as Chief Operating Officer of a Baltimore-based nonprofit and held senior leadership roles in Baltimore City government, including Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff (Deputy Mayor level), where she oversaw multi-agency initiatives and multimillion-dollar budgets.
She is a trusted partner to organizations seeking to strengthen leadership alignment, improve execution, and ensure strategic priorities translate into measurable results.
