Jon Hirst

I would highly recommend Jo to those seeking a competent, trustworthy and dedicated team member. She has a broad set of skills that span the marketing/sales side and the finance/operations side. This diversity allows her to be a great asset to any team as she understands the customer/donor's needs clearly and also understands how to implement systems that help an organization be more effective. Her work in for profit and nonprofit orgs also gives her greater perspective on a variety of organizational challenges.
