As president and CEO of Blackbaud (BLKB), the world’s leading cloud software company powering social good, I’m focused on delivering unmatched value and innovation to organizations and individual change agents that build a better world. I believe success stems from: • Putting customers at the center of everything we do -- every day. • Fostering an inclusive, purpose-focused culture for our team -- where every voice matters. We have recently been listed as the 18th largest Cloud applications company worldwide by IDC, and we are powering the digital transformation of the social good community through purpose-built, comprehensive cloud solutions that drive impact and outcomes for our customers. Every day I’m energized to see the results of our software, services, data intelligence, and expertise in addressing the unique needs of our millions of users in 60 countries -- including nonprofits, foundations, faith based institutions, companies, education institutions, healthcare organizations, and the individual change agents who support them. I’m especially proud to lead an organization that holds spots on Forbes’ lists for best employers for diversity and best employers for women. And while Blackbaud already produces significant social good thought leadership we have exciting work ahead with our new Blackbaud Institute Advisory Board to take that conversation to new heights and new potential for all we serve. In conjunction with leading Blackbaud, I also serve on public and mission-based boards, including the Clemson University President’s Advisory Board, Teradata, and the International African American Museum Board. I'm passionate about advocating for innovation in the tech sector that can help good take over.

I am the CEO of Epicor Software Corporation, a global leader providing flexible, industry-specific software designed around the needs of manufacturing, distribution, retail, and service industry customers. During my over 20 years in the technology sector, I have worked on many different levels within a company. In fact, my first job out of college was on the factory floor at Procter and Gamble. While there, I saw first-hand the power software had to solve business problems. I made the decision to leave for Harvard Business School, where I obtained my MBA in Accounting and Finance. Since then, I served in various sales and operations leadership positions at Oracle, Sun Microsystems, and Manugistics.Before joining Epicor, I served as president of OpenText, a $2B global leader in enterprise information management with 12,000 employees worldwide, where I was responsible for all customer-facing activities including sales, marketing, partners and alliances, global technical services, customer support, professional services, sales operations and cloud services. During my time at OpenText, I delivered outstanding operational performance and was instrumental in the completion and integration of four major acquisitions. As CEO of Epicor since the fall of 2017, I am responsible for setting the strategic direction and operation results for the company. While we are privately held and do not disclose detailed revenue information, Epicor has expanded profit margins over the past three years and generated mid-to-high single digit growth. In 2020, we are expected to exceed $1 billion in revenue. Since moving to Austin, Texas, I also strive to support our local community and promote an altruistic company culture at Epicor by volunteering alongside employees at the Central Texas Food Bank and approving Epicor to serve as a sponsor of the Health Alliance for Austin Musician’s (HAAM) Corporate Battle of the Bands. • 2018 “Pros to Know” by Supply & Demand Chain Executive• Final Nominee, ABJ “Best CEOs of 2019”
