Bio
Cassandra Gaddo, SHRM-SCP „The word that comes to mind when I think of Angie is "joy." No matter what the task at hand, Angie was always able to engage individuals and inspire groups with an authentic energy, sense of humor, and kindness that can't be faked. Whether she was facilitating in-person meetings of 40 people or leading online video calls, that warmth could be felt by all participants. Angie has a proven ability to learn on the go in a variety of functional areas, whether it was launching a new website, overseeing a database transition, or launching a 401(k) program. Her superior ability to manage a long list of responsibilities and competing priorities, while never sacrificing personal relationships with coworkers, was acknowledged and admired by many. She is passionate about culture and staff satisfaction, and her positive contributions could be felt throughout the entire organization, whether it was building an engaging national staff retreat, creating more inclusive interviewing practices, or onboarding senior staff roles. As an executive leader, Angie was able to solicit on-the-ground feedback while being appropriately transparent about eventual executive-level decisions. She served as a trusted advisor, and I always welcomed the chance to brainstorm on a variety of topics with her, from fundraising to culture to performance management. She is able to deliver direct feedback with empathy, helping those around her to grow and develop in a supportive environment. Angie has my highest recommendation!
Raven Jones „I had the pleasure of working with Angie for 5 years. As a colleague and executive leader, there is really no one better than Angie. Angie takes a people first approach to leadership and management. Not only did she create many of the organizational systems utilized by our company to manage staff, she also created cultural policies and practices that allowed employees to feel secure in the workplace. She managed all of the senior leaders in our organization and on-boarded all new staff. She was the first and last touchpoint when entering and exiting the organization. Additionally, she mentored staff members who had interests in growing professionally. Under Angie's leadership, employees were able to grow in areas of fundraising, development, Salesforce database management and HR. Her ability to provide real solutions for human resource related issues, troubleshoot technical programmatic issues and create transparent and empathetic professional spaces is something I have only witnessed with Angie. There is no world that exists where I wouldn't want to work with Angie. When it comes to being a leader, she's the very best.
