Bio
Hong Chhuor, CFRE
Early in my career, when I was learning about all of the work that goes into making a live fundraising event memorable, Ryan was there to guide me. He brought professionalism and genuine care when offering suggestions and feedback that resulted in engaging and financially successful events for the organization I worked for. Not only is Ryan knowledgeable about the technical details of event production, he also has the ability to connect with and understand the complex dynamics involved with decision-making, and was supportive in providing the information needed to sway hearts and minds. When the pandemic changed the way nonprofit fundraising events could be done, Ryan was the first to reach out to me and share his excitement and vision for how the experience could evolve. The foundation of trust we've built is crucial in making sure I can focus on relationship management while he works on all the pieces to make an experience magical for guests.

Ryan is an inspiring leader. He has lead with grace through a trying time in the history of PNTA, he has met expectation and drove the pivot of the company in a new and dynamic direction that will keep PNTA viable in future. Now as CEO I believe he will move the company further into that future.
