Meet Our Leadership

Zach co-founded Mission Minded because he believed nonprofits deserved the same creative firepower as any Fortune 500. Two-plus decades later, he's still in the work — guiding foundations, arts organizations, universities, and social justice causes through brand, naming, and fundraising campaigns that have collectively helped clients raise well over a billion dollars.

Candace runs the infrastructure that lets Mission Minded do its best work — and she does it with an imaginative, energizing style that makes the whole team better. She built a culture where collaboration isn't a buzzword, and where diverse ideas get room to grow into something worth talking about.
