Bio
Devon M. Taylor, M.Ed.
From the minute I met her at an incredible philanthropy and gaming summit in San Francisco, I knew I needed to find more ways and opportunities to work with Nicole. Her highly collaborative ability to partner with national departments and peers across the organization comes naturally and strategically. She's one of - if not the MOST - innovative nonprofit leaders I've had the lucky chance to partner with on exciting new programs that push boundaries and expand potential. The JDRF Game2Give initiative is indebted to her leadership, both in bringing along the organization to understand the incredible opportunity within charity gaming, but also in her organic, warm assembly of a powerhouse council of volunteers.

It's rare and wonderful when one has the opportunity to work with and learn from one of the best, and Nicole is just that - the best at what she does. Not only is Nicole extraordinarily skilled at business leadership and development, prioritization, volunteer and donor stakeholder engagement, staff growth and development, community building, innovative strategic design and execution, and relational fund development - Nicole is also a deep thinker with high emotional intelligence. In addition, Nicole is a visionary, who understands how to balance reality, hope, aspirational planning, and metrics.
