From 2020-2024 I led the team at Giving What We Can (GWWC), a global community on a mission to make giving effectively and significantly a cultural norm.
Prior to GWWC my career later was mostly in tech start-ups, focusing on marketing and growth. I was on the initial team at Sendle, Australia’s first technology B-Corp, and co-founded Positly.
Beyond my work, I’m a devoted member of Giving What We Can (🔸10% Pledger #1560) and Founders Pledge, pledging to donate a significant portion of my income to effective charities.
I enjoy sharing my thoughts and experiences on effective giving and have had the pleasure to do so on platforms such as BBC Radio 4, Aussie Firebug, DW News, and hosting The Giving What We Can Podcast.
While I can't share specific details about our previous benefactor for various reasons (e.g. privacy), I can assure you the reasons for this are not related to any issues with the Donor Lottery itself (e.g. support of the approach, estimation of its value or cost-effectiveness, any issues with the process etc).
Our previous benefactor has been instrumental in supporting the lottery in the past and we deeply appreciate this. We'd be excited to find more backstop funds to increase the size of the Donor Lottery again.
Big plus one here 🥰
