We are committed to helping you and your team thrive!
About Us
Rooted Strategies Consulting is a consulting firm helping small businesses, corporate teams, and nonprofit organizations execute big ideas. We partner with teams that are navigating limited capacity, growing demands, and complex initiatives by stepping in to lead projects and programs with clarity, care, and accountability.
Our work sits at the intersection of organizational health and strategic execution. We help leaders design and implement initiatives that are realistic, build systems that actually work for their teams, and foster collaboration that reduces overwhelm and confusion.
Whether you’re launching a new initiative, navigating growth, or aiming to bring structure to internal systems, we meet you where you are by helping you clarify what’s working, address what’s not, and implement solutions that support long-lasting project success.
If you’re ready to strengthen execution, support your team’s capacity, and finally see your vision move forward with confidence, you’re in the right place. We’d be honored to partner with you in bringing your big project ideas to life.

Naiyolis Palomo, MSW (she/her), is a social impact strategist, project manager, and visionary leader dedicated to reimagining how we work, lead, and grow together. Her story begins in Santiago de Cuba, in a small town called Mella, where the strength of family and community shaped her belief in collective care and advocacy. Guided by these roots and lived experiences, Naiyolis has spent over a decade working at the intersection of community organizing, systems change, and policy advocacy to build bridges between people, strategy, and purpose.
A horizontal leader at heart, Naiyolis believes that meaningful work begins with the well-being of the people doing it.

Prior to founding Rooted Strategies Consulting, Naiyolis served as a community organizer, social impact strategist, and project manager with organizations such as the ACLU of Texas, the Immigrant Legal Resource Center, the Black LGBTQIA+ Migrant Project (BLMP), and Third Sector Capital Partners. Across these roles, she has supported leaders and institutions in designing transformative initiatives, strengthening internal processes, and advancing long-term systems change. Her mission is to co-create spaces where impact and strategy meet, where collaboration is anchored in care, and where lasting solutions can truly take root.
