  • Identify opportunities to grow multi-year, repeat sponsorship and donor commitments

Leadership & External Representation

  • Serve as a senior representative of TechUnited with donors, sponsors, and ecosystem partners

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
