Powering your ability to pivot.
Agility Lab works across fundraising, marketing, operations, and legal teams to assess current practices and build shared decision-making frameworks for data use, audience privacy, and technology advancement.
Our work helps organizations make aligned choices about consent, privacy governance, investment, and AI so you can move forward with confidence, even as regulation and toolsets evolve. And most importantly, we position you to safeguard your audience's trust through it all.

How I Can Help You
I partner with teams to define what responsible data use means for your organization, align stakeholders around that definition, and translate it into practical governance that supports growth and trust.
Data Autonomy Framework™
Creating cross-team strategy for responsible data use and privacy
The Data Autonomy Framework™ is Agility Lab's flagship engagement and the recommended starting point for organizations that need foundational alignment on how data is collected, governed, and used across teams.
This engagement establishes shared definitions of acceptable data use, aligns teams on risk tolerance and consent principles, and builds the governance roadmap that guides privacy decisions across your organization — ensuring data practices support donor trust, confident investment, and mission accountability. This governance foundation informs all subsequent technology decisions, vendor selections, and AI adoption strategies.
Privacy Product Management
Ongoing strategic advisory for privacy, consent, and data governance
For organizations navigating continuous decisions about tools, vendors, and data use, I offer retainer-based strategic advisory that functions as privacy product management.
This work provides sustained oversight as your privacy program matures — maintaining governance roadmaps, reviewing new initiatives and partnerships, conducting DPIAs and risk assessments, managing tag governance, and positioning privacy as a key performance indicator with equal weight to revenue goals. I sit alongside your Product, Analytics, Legal, and Fundraising teams to ensure privacy works hand-in-hand with operational planning.
Enterprise Privacy & Technology Roadmapping
Architecting your privacy-forward technology and compliance stack
For large nonprofits and universities with complex tech ecosystems, privacy decisions become infrastructure decisions, requiring operational changes, financial reforecasting, and strategic vision for technology investments.
This engagement helps organizations operationalize privacy infrastructure, build business cases for needed resources, and envision what their tech stacks and teams need to look like. I help you set the vision for your privacy-forward technology roadmap and orchestrate stakeholders to execute it.
AI Readiness & Responsible Adoption
Preparing your organization for AI, without compromising trust
AI readiness isn't about adopting tools quickly. It's about knowing whether your data management, consent practices, and governance structures are strong enough to support responsible use, because how you've governed data until now will determine how AI can (and should) be deployed across your organization.
This engagement assesses whether your existing data practices align with AI use, helps you define guardrails for acceptable and unacceptable applications, and establishes the governance framework needed to move forward with confidence as AI becomes embedded across systems and workflows.
NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Elyse Wallnutt.
I partner with organizations that care deeply about how their audience's data is used, while still acknowledging the need for growth, adaptation, and forward movement to fulfill their social impact missions.
My role is to help teams slow down just enough to make good decisions about consent, technology, and risk so that your future scale is confident and rights-aligned. This includes evaluating where existing processes, tools, and assumptions introduce risk, often in ways teams don’t see until something breaks. This work is especially critical when decisions cut across teams, goals, and culture.
I’ve spent my career inside the kinds of organizations facing these tensions, which means I know where things break down — and how to help even the most complex, matrixed teams move forward with clarity and trust.

Privacy Decision Brief
When privacy governance decisions are made in isolation, organizations become reactive, responding to external pressure instead of acting with intention.
