Kari is a seasoned nonprofit data strategist with over 30 years of experience helping organizations better understand and engage their donors. With a master’s degree in nonprofit management and deep expertise in marketing data, analytics, research, methodology, and forecasting, Kari brings both precision and insight to every client engagement.

Over the years, Kari has served hundreds of nonprofits — from national powerhouses like CARE International, The Nature Conservancy, Best Friends Animal Society, and The Salvation Army, to impactful regional organizations including the University of Cincinnati Foundation, local food banks, environmental, and animal welfare groups. Her work consistently helps organizations turn raw data into strategic action, aligning audience insights with meaningful, mission-driven growth.

A lifelong learner and global citizen, Kari has lived overseas in both the UK and Switzerland. Now based near the Canadian border in northern Minnesota, she shares a lakeside cabin with her husband and a very large hairy dog. When not immersed in data or strategy, you’ll find her canoeing, paddle boarding, hiking, or foraging for wild foods in the deep boreal forests.
