Staff Thoughts

Why did you join Pareto Fundraising?

“When I met Sean and Paul at the interview I knew these fellas were people who thought the same way about the world I did. They offered me a job the same day and I didn’t hesitate – just came straight to the pub to talk about the role and watch them play pool.”

Jan Chisholm

CEO

“I joined Pareto Fundraising because I wanted to be a part of an organisation that assist charities in continuing to make a positive impact on people in the world.”

Drew Jaadla
HR-Coordinator

“I worked for a fundraising consultancy, very much like Pareto Fundraising in South Africa and joining Pareto Fundraising has been like ‘coming home’.”
Sharon Tillman
Account Manager

“I studied marketing in Uni for 5 years. During that time I had a strong interest in charities so much so that I did my thesis on factors affecting charitable donations amongst donors and non donors. When I came across the position at Pareto Fundraising while job hunting it occurred to me (as most things in life – later rather than sooner!) that maybe I should put two and two together and work on that instead! So that’s why I’m here!”
Shalani Dennis
Account Executive

"Friendly colleagues, team spirit, integrity and the passion of helping not-for-profit sector."
Manfred Chan
Senior Account Manager

"Working for Pareto Fundraising there is no doubt in my mind that it is far better to encourage people to be generous to causes that desperately need support. Which is really comforting to know as a Christian. I also like it that everyone here is different and because my experience has mainly been in smaller businesses, that there are plenty of people to bounce ideas around and learn from."
Leisl Holterman
Account Executive

What do you think Pareto Fundraising is good at?

“It’s good to remind ourselves of this: sometimes all we can see is the stuff that doesn’t work as well as we’d like. I honestly believe we’re the best in the world at getting results for our clients, we know that effectiveness is all and don’t get sucked into ideas for the sake of looking clever. I reckon we’re really hot at inviting the right staff to join the team – I’ve never worked anywhere with such a consistently high standard of staff across the board.”

Jan Chisholm
CEO

"I love the people and the talent. Working with so many bright people makes everyday a learning experience and fun, I can’t imagine being anywhere else now.”

Vik Chowdhary
Account Executive

“The Data team….”

Andy Tidy
Data Consultant

“Making a difference to net income of charities via holistic strategy.”

Bruce McCann
Data Manager

“I think it’s the people at Pareto Fundraising that makes it shit hot. It is the passion that our staff demonstrate on a day to day basis, all achieving one common goal….helping beneficiaries.”

Rob Novotny
Business and Marketing Co-ordinator

“Fundraising and communications of course! Helping charities raise more money. Getting the strategy right, getting the creative right, getting the results right…and also learning FAST from the things we don’t get right!”
Olivia Richards
Head of Business and Marketing

“Everything! Turning random thoughts, ideas and strategies into amazing campaigns using sh*t hot strategy, sh*t hot data + sh*t hot creative.”

Vanessa Byrnes
Account Director (Currently employed at Canteen)

How do you think Pareto Fundraising is raising the bar in the 'not-for-profit' sector?

“We are unbelievably open, honest and practical about what charities we help to raise more money and ultimately help more beneficiaries through masterclasses, sharing results, networking, benchmarking.”

Janine Ferrie
Senior Account Manager

“We can offer incontrovertible evidence that what we are doing in the fields of bequest marketing and regular giving is substantially better than any fundraising that has gone before it. You can dislike our tactics or attitude, but you can’t deny the impact.”

Gethin Fisher
Account Director

“By continually achieving excellent results while not sacrificing our beliefs and values. And Rob has his own merry band of Masterclass groupies – a clear sign that we have raised the bar in the NFP sector to another stratosphere.”

Vanessa Byrne
Account Director (Currently working for Canteen)

By being innovative and doing what’s right for our clients and achieving consistently awesome results – we’re showing charities and other agencies how it should be done.”

Naomi Byers
Account Manager

“By educating people within the sector about great fundraising – our clients, our staff and our peers. We are brilliant at what we do and we are brilliant at teaching others how to do it.”

Jonathon Grapsas
Regional Director North America
