Josh Borenstein (he/him) founded Odyssey Associates in 2019.  Since that time, he has worked on cultural projects with a wide variety of organizations such as producing theatres, presenting organizations, orchestras, municipalities, neighborhood associations, historical societies, community schools for the arts, and foundations.  As a teacher, Josh has been a Lecturer in Theater Management at the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale since 2017.  Prior to Odyssey Associates, Josh served at Long Wharf Theatre for 13 years, including 8 as its Managing Director, and he guided the organization through three different leadership transitions.

Odyssey’s mission is to support arts and culture leaders in navigating the challenges caused by our current times. Odyssey advises artists, executives, and trustees whose organizations are on the cusp of change by providing consulting services in fundraising, strategy, and interim management. Odyssey is a collective of four consultants with varied backgrounds and areas of expertise who collaborate with a spirit of abundance rather than scarcity, allowing for better support of each other and better consultations for Odyssey’s clients. Typical engagements for Odyssey include strategic planning; capital campaign feasibility and implementation; annual fund growth; and interim management engagements in executive, general management, and finance positions. https://odysseyassociates.llc
