As a results-driven non-profit executive, I specialize in revenue generation through a comprehensive approach that includes fundraising strategy, corporate sponsorships, and individual giving. My experience spans over two decades of building and executing successful campaigns that drive revenue growth, enhance donor retention, and foster major gifts. I am committed to strategic, innovative approaches that not only ensure financial growth but also deepen stakeholder engagement and advance the organization’s mission.
Areas of Expertise:
✔ Revenue Growth & Fundraising: Proven track record in leading fundraising strategy, managing portfolios for signature events (galas, golf tournaments, and peer-to-peer events), and expanding corporate partnerships. Expertise in major gifts, planned giving, acquisition and retention, and peer-to-peer fundraising.
✔ Leadership & Team Development: Skilled in staff leadership, mentorship, and building high-performance teams. I focus on organizational capacity building, succession planning, and talent development to ensure sustainable success.
✔ Strategic Planning & Execution: Adept in setting strategic direction, leading operational planning and budgeting, conducting market analysis, and implementing goal-setting initiatives. I prioritize event innovation, stakeholder engagement, and collaboration across departments to drive outcomes.
✔ Relationship Building & Stewardship: Deep experience in donor cultivation, stewardship, and relationship management. I excel at nurturing corporate partnerships, recruiting executive volunteers, and building committee development frameworks to support long-term fundraising efforts.
✔ Financial & Operational Oversight: Expertise in budget management, forecasting, and financial analysis with a focus on maximizing ROI and ensuring fiscal accountability. I prioritize compliance with industry standards and champion Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
With a well-rounded background in development strategy, event logistics, and project management, I thrive on leading innovative solutions that align with organizational goals and deliver measurable impact. I’m passionate about creating inclusive teams, fostering collaboration, and driving pipeline development for sustained growth.
