Aube Grove is a strategic leadership and operations practice working alongside founders and senior leaders in arts, culture, and civic innovation — designing conditions for organizations to feel alive.

The practice draws on John Kalinowski's fifteen years spent inside organizations and as a thought partner to senior leaders — building, scaling, advising, and listening closely to what they really need.

His work weaves together two distinct threads: the operational architecture that lets organizations function, and the human attention that lets leaders think clearly. The combination is what makes the work feel different — less consulting, more partnership.

John works with founders, senior leaders, and their teams, and lives in New York City, where he is an active presence in the arts and cultural scene.
