“When you can be anything in the world… be helpful. “

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been in the business of helping people at scale, giving them the tools to think out of the box, see a clearer picture, and overcome challenging obstacles on the way to success.  

I believe that if technology is a liberator, then empowerment is its multiplier; if I can invest in an idea, that idea has the potential to multiply, grow, and reach more people than I could ever reach on my own. The same philosophy goes for people, too. When I empower a founder, that founder moves through the world with a new velocity, backed by all the experience, confidence, and reassurance that I’ve gathered throughout the years. 

Now 20+ years into my own career, having truly been there and done that – I’m ready to pour into people.

Partner & Executive Director

D’Andre Phillips

Executive Director, Score 3

I believe in the tremendous power of relationships and the impact that it has on securing, cultivating, and stewarding resources. Every great relationship starts with one simple word, hello. I am at my best when I get to inspire others to explore and act on their curiosity through the power of relationship building.

As an accomplished fundraiser, I have been successful increasing philanthropic gifts and sustaining that growth at each of my career stops.

I am passionate about:
– Meeting new people
– Raising lots of money
– Assisting people and organizations to connect with their philanthropic and business goals
