About SRV Global
We design and facilitate the processes that help mission-driven organizations go further together. Our work spans three integrated services — Aligning Stakeholders, Weaving Knowledge, and Strengthening Networks — and helps leaders and organizations in high-stakes, high-complexity environments turn fragmented efforts into coordinated action.
The results speak for themselves — 9 national climate action plans that mobilized $1B+ in energy and water projects, 300+ locally-led innovations that reached 500,000+ people, 1,500+ leaders from 80+ nations that connected and transformed through experiential learning, and 22 networks established and strengthened across sectors and geographies — for clients spanning government, philanthropy, academia, nonprofit, and international development.

About Sher
Sher Vogel is a global facilitator — skilled at making complex processes simple for diverse groups of people. With two decades of experience across 26 countries in Latin America, Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, she specializes in the human side of complex change — designing cross-sector learning experiences, facilitating high-stakes convenings, and building the collaborative structures that help leaders and organizations work across every kind of difference.
She has engaged stakeholders across academic, government, corporate, philanthropic, and nonprofit sectors — working with institutions including MIT, USAID, the U.S. State Department, Mitsubishi Motors, Bayada Home Health Care, and hundreds of grassroots initiatives worldwide. Her work spans rural community workshops and multilateral government convenings, intimate focus groups and international summits — always with the same conviction: a well-designed collaborative process, with the right people engaged in the right ways at the right time, can achieve what no single organization could alone.
Outside the office, Sher enjoys exploring the outdoors, gardening, hosting community potlucks, volunteering, learning new languages, and exploring the potential of AI for global good.
