Manager for the Creator Community team, with leadership across 4 ICs representing online community and community programs. My team consistently exhibits strong community growth and business impact. In 2022, our online community grew 52% YoY growth in members, while our A. Club program saw 159% YoY increase in the number of launched clubs. When engaging across our community and education resources, programs, and spaces, our creators have more stable revenue retention, use more of Patreon's product surfaces, and report higher satisfaction rates than non-participants.Building community is just as important as being IN community. I've been a speaker for CMX, Community Hacked, and Elpha, and launched a peer group for fellow creator community team leaders.

A focus on relationships is the through-line for the roles I’ve taken on at YBCA. My greatest joy is in fulfilling a virtuous cycle of support and engagement between my coworkers, individual supporters, other nonprofit and corporate entities, and leading artists, designers and thinkers. Below is a selection of key achievements:• Enroll thousands of entities (individuals & companies) in a value proposition where their participation serves as an indicator to the value to creative output and commitment to social good.• Cultivate a portfolio of approximately 100 high-touch relationships with a 80% retention rate. • Initiate and negotiate relationships with companies like Airbnb, Instagram, Kickstarter, and Artspace. The artist feature I pitched to Instagram's Community Team resulted in 4.6M views. • Align and manage dependencies across teams including marketing, program, web and with executive leaders to ensure stakeholder investment and project delivery. I managed 4 major community program changes, and the 2016 shift the base grew by 60% in one year. • Manage limited editions including sourcing vendors, and overseeing production, marketing, and sales. Working with the artist David Shrigley, I executed the only print edition to sell out within a year of release. • Plan and execute 10-12 annual events ranging from private gatherings to community-related elements of core events like exhibition openings and conferences. Over 70% of our audience report "strong satisfaction" with their experience.• Supervise and mentor junior staff.

I thrive in environments where I am able to continually learn and have opportunity for career growth.
