Bio
Ken Brissa
Samantha Masterson is one of the most talented and qualified nonprofit professionals and organizational leaders I’ve had the pleasure to work with. Samm has exemplary leadership skills and is thoroughly knowledgeable in all aspects of revenue development, donor stewardship and employee performance management. She communicates her and her organization’s vision incredibly well and is gifted at creating, executing and managing plans to achieve that vision. Samm sets and communicates goals clearly and supports and manages people and activity to ensure those goals are met or beaten. She is an excellent problem solver, communicator and advocate for her organization. Samm is a compassionate, collaborative, fair and talented leader and team member that people truly enjoy working for and with.

I worked with Samantha for two years at the National Brain Tumor Society. She proved to be an incredibly talented, supportive, and empowering manager who provided me and my team the flexibility and expertise to achieve amazing results. She is the rare management professional who possesses the skills of effective "people management," business acumen, true hands-on know how, and empathy - she is the perfect executive. She built and led a team that helped our organization generate growth and development revenue which surpassed expectations over the past two years. She is a born leader who easily and quickly can build consensus and support for even the most difficult campaigns and situations. And, since she has deep experience, and a proven successful track record in Field work, event planning, marketing, communications, as well as, of course, development and advancement and budget/business management, she is so valuable in so many ways. She is a compassionate leader, who builds relationships very quickly, and has cultivated many, many partnerships and donor relationships that form the foundation of our organization's many successes. My team and I respect her work and management style, and she, in turn, always respected and recognized our good work. Again, a consummate professional and manager. I will always, whole-heartedly recommend for any executive or management position.
