About
I've led fundraising growth for XPRIZE, Prager University, the American Red Cross, and the Ayn Rand Institute, building donor pipelines and securing transformational philanthropic investment.
At XPRIZE, I closed more than $10M in new gifts, including $8M+ from new five- and six-figure Benefactors. I also created a stewardship and cultivation handbook that grew giving and retention to 84%.
At Prager University, I helped transform the individual giving program from $24M to more than $65M in three years, closing $10M+ in major gifts and delivering 66% year-over-year major-gift growth. I modernized fundraising systems and led a direct-mail overhaul that generated an additional $4.3M in revenue.
I build high-performing fundraising teams, deepen major donor relationships, and connect bold missions with innovative revenue strategies across individual, institutional, corporate, and membership giving.
