Jeremy Dutton Tech & Business Consulting
About
I’m Jeremy Dutton, a Thunder Bay–based tech and business consultant.
I help nonprofits and social services organizations use technology and data
in practical ways to strengthen delivery, improve reporting, reduce administrative burden,
and help you turn your day-to-day work into clear impact stories that
resonate with funders, partners, clients, and your community.
My career started in HR and workforce development, and I spent several years working in social services
and the nonprofit sector before moving into tech. That background means I understand the
real constraints you’re navigating: limited time, capacity, and the need to stay accountable
to funders while serving clients and your community.
Today, I provide flexible support that can be project-based, part-time, hourly, or fixed-scope,
depending on your needs. Together, we clarify what you’re accountable for, prioritize what matters most,
and identify the improvements that will make the biggest difference.
If you’re curious whether this is a fit, I’d be glad to connect. You can review the services section
for the areas I support most often, then reach out to share what you’re working on. Even a short conversation
can help clarify priorities and identify a practical next step
