Meet our Sydney Client Servicing Team

Pareto Fundraising’s client servicing team use their expertise, training and talent to help our charity partners raise more funds to make the world a better place. They are the engine that drives our success, and the oil that keeps everything running smoothly.

Meet our Account Directors

Gethin Fisher

Gethin joined Pareto Fundraising in July 2005, and quickly become an indispensable part of the team. Officially, he is an Account Director but his talents go well beyond what you might normally associate with such a role.

A true all-round fundraiser, Gethin is able to turn his hand to pretty much every aspect of putting together a successful fundraising product. Indeed, one of the things that Gethin enjoys the most about working at Pareto Fundraising is the fact that he is given the opportunity to not only sculpt products and propositions, but to unleash his creative talents on copy and design too.

Pretty much Gethin’s entire career to date has taken place in the world of direct marketing. Over the years, he has produced successful above, below and through the line campaigns that have utilised every fundraising medium – including mail, phone, online and press.

Gethin’s passion for fundraising sees him far too often working into the night at Pareto Fundraising. But that doesn’t mean he hasn’t got a life beyond our four walls. In his leisure time, Gethin loves a game of Rugby and has been known to cook a mean apple pie.

Gethin also enjoys singing. He is convinced that he has a great voice, and that anyone who tells him otherwise is simply jealous and trying to hold him back from a successful career.

Rachel Potter

Rachel joined us in March 2008, fresh off the plane from the famous English seaside resort of Brighton. The latest in a long list of Brits to join the team, she brought with her the benefits of five year’s hands-on experience working as an Account Director with over 20 of the UK’s leading charities.

Rachel is a keen runner, and loves the sunny Sydney outdoor lifestyle. However, it was the energy and passion of the Pareto Fundraising team that convinced her to move half way around the world. We are very glad that she did.

Meet our Account Managers

Sharon Tillman

Sharon joined us as an Account Manager in August, 2007 following a two year period as a full-time mum and a three year stretch soaking up as much food and culture as she could in Paris.

Her enviable fundraising and communications skills were developed and nurtured in South Africa, where she first dipped her toes in the world of Account Managing with a well known fundraising consultancy.

Sharon was delighted to join forces with Pareto Fundraising, both because of the wide range of causes represented by our clients, and the shared commitment of our staff to making the world a better place to live.

Vikram Chowdhary

Vikram joined us in June, 2007 in order to take on the role of Account Executive for Médecins Sans Frontières and Amnesty International Australia. 

His absolute passion in life is using his brain to help causes he feels strongly about. This is exactly what he is doing, day in and day out at Pareto Fundraising – single-mindedly applying his skills, experience and talents to fundraising, so his clients can work harder than ever to make the world a better place.

An avid traveller, Vikram journeyed through 23 countries in Europe last year – an experience that he will be happy to tell you about in proficient Japanese, which he picked up during yet another one of his many extended overseas adventures.

Meet our Account Executives

Shalani Dennis

Shalani arrived to make life better at Pareto Fundraising in September, 2007. Driven by a desire to do something good for the world, he left behind a job as Marketing Coordinator for SkyInc Group to join us as an Account Executive.

Outside of work, Shalani’s passions include making and watching films, strumming the guitar and playing football. An accomplished singer, he once came third in a karaoke competition.

Leisl Holterman

Leisl joined us to work as an Account Executive with the Heart Foundation in October, 2007. A student of advertising and a professional marketer with many years of experience, she wanted to work with Pareto Fundraising because of a desire to encourage people to be generous to causes that deserve support.

A skilled player and teacher of the flute, Leisl enjoys swimming, speaking and socialising. Like her namesake in The Sound of Music, Leisl was once 16 going on 17. She will not say how long ago that was, however.
