Blair Pippin's Linkedin Analytics

I believe in leveraging our resources to make our world a better place. I have seen this happen by utilizing gifts in communication, strategic leadership, fund development, and creativity to increase the impact of several non-profit organizations. I am a strategic leader highly skilled in communications, design, and program management. I have done this with Cru, Florida Abolitionist, and Nathaniel’s Hope where each organization saw a result of increased engagement and organizational growth for their missions. I am able to arrive at solutions quickly and then explain the logic behind those solutions clearly and persuasively. I also enjoy being a part of a team where I can specialize in my own unique contribution. I attended Virginia Tech where I studied Science & Technology and Music. Throughout my career, I have utilized both the organization of science and technology while balancing it with the creativity of my musical background. For example, creating new programs requires both creativity and organizational planning. This background prepared me well for many roles throughout my career where I have utilized both sides of my brain to see dreams come to fruition and lives changed as a result. While working with Cru, I honed my communication skills by writing and speaking regularly. I built relationships with donors, raised funds, and developed graphic design and storytelling skills to produce needed marketing and communications pieces. I then enhanced and leveraged these skills in my partnerships with both Florida Abolitionist and Nathaniel's Hope making a lasting impact in our community. Now, I rely on these abilities heavily in customer success. I am committed to giving my customers the service they deserve so they can achieve success. I have a reputation for being honest and fair and will go above and beyond so that each customer's goals are reached. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family. An avid outdoorsman, I love running, swimming, kayaking, camping, and hiking! I also continue to enjoy making music singing and playing guitar. When I am in nature, you will often find me with a camera in my hand ready to take an epic landscape. Proficient in Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, WordPress, Mailchimp, and Blackbaud Database.
