As the Co-founder and CEO of BetterUnite, I spearhead an innovative software ecosystem revolutionizing how nonprofits operate. Our platform uniquely integrates essential technological tools, fostering seamless fundraising and organizational management.My journey began in the art world, where I thrived for over 15 years as a private art dealer, gallery owner, and consultant. This path allowed me to deeply engage with the arts, social justice, and wellness (via a duel interest and commitment to my personal yoga practice) communities, fueling my passion for advocacy. My commitment to these causes found a new avenue in the nonprofit sector, where I served on esteemed boards including the Austin Museum of Art, the Texas Film Hall of Fame, and the Art Association of Jackson Hole.In 2011, my career took a decisive turn towards full-time nonprofit and issue-driven work. Leading as the board president for Community Yoga Austin, I encountered firsthand the intricate challenges nonprofits face, particularly in balancing effective fundraising with minimal overhead. This experience, coupled with the brilliance of my co-founder, Tunç Samiloglu, led to the inception of BetterUnite.Today, BetterUnite supports over 6,000 nonprofits, and as a female tech executive, I am dedicated to continually enhancing our platform to meet the evolving needs of this sector. Beyond my professional pursuits, I am a yoga teacher and a devoted mother to five extraordinary children, ranging from 24 to 7 years old.My current roles extend to serving on the boards of Austin Recovery and the Louis Armstrong Center for Music Therapy at Mount Sinai in New York City, where I continue to advocate for meaningful causes that resonate with my lifelong commitment to advocacy, the arts, and wellness.
