Brandi is a seasoned nonprofit financial administrator who has led or supported dozens of organizations in identifying, procuring, and managing financial and operational resources to effectively execute their missions. Her 15+ year career spans nonprofit financial management, operations, and fundraising including both strategic management of lean budgets as well as long-term planning and program investment in healthier budgets. Her journey from entry level to Executive Director overseeing mission execution, finance, operations, fundraising, marketing and personnel puts her in a unique position to understand the needs of non-profit stakeholders from the floor to the boardroom. Past experiences include Director of Administration for an agricultural nonprofit during a period in which the organizational budget and staff size nearly quadrupled, Executive Director of a nonprofit community center dedicated to multicultural performing arts, management of a $1.2mill payroll with funding allocations from 18 different Federal, State, and Foundation grants, service on the Board of Directors that brought an historic 600-seat theater from near insolvency to a path of success, and an extensive history of laying the organizational groundwork for success for small to midsize innovative performing arts organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. She currently lives in Madison, WI with her husband and 11-year-old girl, where there is plenty of space for a multi-drummer household.
