“Sterrin’s experience and insights into the non-profit sector have been invaluable to Kudyou. She has helped us connect with a much wider group of people and accelerated our business opportunity through her understanding of the sectors needs. Always available and a great source of new ideas. I enjoy working with Sterrin and hope to continue doing so for a long time to come.”
“Sterrin was a talented fundraiser and built lasting relationships with major donors. She was creative, forthright, focused, and understood strategic cultivation. She always found ways to cut through organizational barriers and focus on the key donors.”
“Anyone can be a fund-raiser. Few can be a friend-raiser, and even fewer can be a true fun-raiser. As a first-responder with the American Red Cross during 9-11, to the most glamorous International Ball that exceeded expectations — Sterrin is a great friend who makes raising funds fun!”
“I was a private sector stakeholder on a major social responsibility initiative led by Sterrin while she was with the American Red Cross. I found her ability to establish strong relationships with me and with my colleagues outstanding, and her articulation of how ideas could take form within shared objectives formed the direction of strategies, programs and campaigns that resonated with our audiences.”
“Sterrin understands how to get things done and is a powerful organizational source. Her passion for quality and leadership are some of her most outstanding qualities. I would recommend her for any complex organizational project.”
