About Chris

With more than 27 years of experience in fundraising, I’ve had the privilege of helping extraordinary institutions build deep, lasting relationships with donors who share their vision for a better world.

I’ve led principal and major gifts efforts in higher education, global health, and public service—working side by side with senior leaders, academic deans, program directors, and philanthropists. Most recently, I served as a Senior Principal Gifts Officer at Partners In Health, managing a portfolio of over 80 ultra-high-net-worth donors and securing transformational seven-figure support for global health equity.

At Syracuse University’s Whitman School of Management, I co-developed a $130 million campaign plan and helped raise a $10 million gift to establish an interdisciplinary life sciences institute. At Cornell University, I led a school-wide campaign that raised over $74 million—more than had been secured in the prior 25 years combined.

I approach every client and engagement with clarity, empathy, and an unwavering focus on mission. Whether advising on strategy, developing a campaign, or coaching staff to success, my goal is to help organizations elevate their impact through philanthropy.
