  Operations - Ashley Tedham:

  After 10 years working in the non-profit space I started looking for a meaningful challenge one that continued to allow me to serve the broader community while learning a different set of skills. I was introduced to a few people at Benevity and after several months of exploring different opportunities I was approached by Caleb Wall who invited me to join the Global Team at Benevity. What a journey it has been! In just 2.5 years I grew from a Senior Analyst to Acting Manager to Manager to Director of the Global Team. The challenging opportunities that Benevity provided along with the mentorship and support of my colleagues and people leaders allowed me to grow into my dream job helping me to expand my skill-set and level-up my impact! It hasnt been easy - but its become the most fulfilling position I have ever had.
