Blackbaud | Interim General Manager and Head of YourCause | Director, Corporate Impact Strategy & Business Ops
Nathan Froelich leads Strategy and Business Development for Blackbaud’s Corporate Impact division, which provides the solutions for companies, customers, and communities to deliver meaningful and measurable impact driven by two essential levers: engagement and education. He is responsible for deepening Blackbaud’s focus on the rapidly growing Social Good industry, executing on strategic initiatives critical to client’s needs, and ensuring the solutions evolve and expand with the heightened community expectations on a corporation’s purpose and impact. Nathan joined Blackbaud in early 2022 from JPMorgan Chase & Co., where for the past 14 years he had progressed from their Corporate Analyst Development Program to Executive Director and Chief Data Officer for JPMC’s Corporate Responsibility (CR) department. During Nathan’s 8-year tenure in JPMC’s CR department he developed and implemented its first data strategy and technology environment which enabled greater transparency into impact and stronger coordination across global philanthropy, government relations, regulatory affairs, public engagement, policy, marketing, and communications. Prior to his role as Chief Data Officer, Nathan transformed and led Technology and Operations for JPMC’s Corporate Responsibility department, which has been recognized for setting the standard for how business can leverage its expertise, data, research, capital, and global reach to ensure economic opportunity is available to more people. Nathan obtained his undergraduate degree from The Ohio State University and received his Master of Business Administration from Syracuse University.
