About
The Collaborative Curators
Built on trust, stewardship, and practical support
The Collaborative Curators was created to support founders, executives, and small teams during periods of growth, transition, and change — when the details matter most and internal capacity is often stretched thin.
We’ve seen firsthand how businesses struggle not because of a lack of vision, but because the day-to-day operational load quietly becomes unsustainable. Important follow-ups slip. Systems grow organically without structure. Knowledge lives in too many places — or in one person’s head.
Our work exists to relieve that pressure.
We provide thoughtful, hands-on support that helps leaders stay focused, teams stay aligned, and operations stay steady — without unnecessary complexity, rigid contracts, or dependency-based services.
Our approach
We believe good support should feel:
-
Embedded, not transactional
-
Supportive, not controlling
-
Temporary or long-term — by choice, not obligation
We work closely with our clients, learn how they operate, and adapt our support to fit their needs. When work transitions in-house, we document processes and help ensure continuity so teams can take ownership with confidence.
Our goal is not to be indispensable forever — it’s to leave businesses more organized, more resilient, and better equipped than when we arrived.
Our Leadership
The name The Collaborative Curators reflects how we work.
“Collaborative” because we partner closely with clients, contractors, and internal teams.
“Curators” because we bring intention and care to how information, workflows, and responsibilities are managed.
Much of our work happens quietly behind the scenes — but its impact is felt in smoother operations, clearer communication, and leaders who finally feel caught up.
Andrea (Andee) Naglich
Founder & Chief Essentials Officer
Andee founded The Collaborative Curators with a clear intention: to help people build work that supports life, not the other way around. Her approach is shaped by a lifelong connection to place and people, influenced by time spent along the coasts from the Bay Area to New England. Those experiences instilled a deep appreciation for rhythm, balance, and the unseen details that make environments — and businesses — function well. At The Collaborative Curators, she provides hands-on executive and operational support to founders and leadership teams, helping manage communication, workflows, and day-to-day coordination with care and discretion. She believes the most effective support is thoughtful, adaptable, and grounded in real human relationships — not rigid systems or one-size-fits-all solutions. Her work emphasizes clarity, continuity, and sustainability. She prioritizes workflows that respect both professional responsibilities and personal well-being, and she is deeply committed to ensuring that the systems she helps build can be understood, shared, and carried forward by client teams over time. At the core of her work is a simple mission: to invest in the life-work of others by providing reliable support, practical tools, and guidance that allow work to integrate more naturally into life.
Nicholas (Nick) Naglich
Chief Technology Officer
Nick joined The Collaborative Curators in 2018, bringing a background in systems thinking, technology, and operational design to support the company’s growth and evolving client needs. His work focuses on helping organizations make sense of complexity — structuring processes, improving handoffs, and designing workflows that are clear, maintainable, and adaptable as teams grow or change. He is particularly attentive to how information moves through an organization, where friction tends to emerge, and how small structural changes can create meaningful relief over time. Within The Collaborative Curators, he supports the behind-the-scenes work that allows businesses to operate more smoothly and sustainably. This includes documentation, process clarity, and thoughtful transition planning so that work done externally can be confidently brought in-house when the time is right. Guided by a strong sense of ethical stewardship, his approach emphasizes continuity, transparency, and respect for the people who will ultimately live with the systems being built. The goal is never dependency, but durability — leaving organizations better equipped, more resilient, and ready for what comes next.
