Grateful Giving is a platform where socially good businesses donate to their customers' favorite nonprofits. In today's world, social good has never been more important and is a powerful tool for businesses to increase customer retention and employee engagement.91% of people who care about giving say they are more likely to do business with companies who support nonprofits they care about. When a business implements an automated customer/client giving program, the customers who participate increase their spend with the company by an average of 17%.I created Grateful Giving because of my desire to use business and technology as a force for social good.The Grateful Giving Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity.

After my company, Submittal Exchange, was acquired, I served as president of a division of Textura Corporation (NYSE: TXTR) (now part of Oracle) that provided comprehensive, secure online solutions for design collaboration, construction communications, and LEED management. Textura was a leading provider of collaboration solutions for the commercial construction industry. During my time at Textura, we continued to grow the Submittal Exchange business unit by an average of 50% per year. I served on the executive team at Textura as the company completed a successful IPO on the New York Stock Exchange in June 2013. Textura was subsequently acquired by Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) in 2016.

I was promoted to leadership of the GradeBeam business unit. General Contractors used GradeBeam.com to distribute documents, search for new subcontractors to work with, and send bid invitations. GradeBeam was one of the leading invitation to bid and bid management solutions with over 500,000 construction organizations using it to build new relationships.
