Simone Carvalho

Simone brings a wealth of nonprofit experience to the SKS team with a background spanning programmatic, fundraising, technical, and operational roles at organizations including the ACLU and Jersey Cares. She has held roles from volunteer manager and fundraising officer to database support, business analyst, and product manager. These frontline experiences — such as leading an emergency volunteer response during Hurricane Sandy, or managing the Salesforce product roadmap for the ACLU’s 425+ fundraising users — give her a unique perspective to solving complex challenges.

Simone has also served as a Salesforce solution implementation partner, helping to design, build, and launch an integrated financial and fundraising system for the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. As part of Cause Craft Consulting, Simone leveraged her nonprofit expertise and SI partner experience to help Feeding America prepare for a major Salesforce migration.

Simone’s work is grounded in a Bachelor of Science in Business Management and Anthropology from Rutgers University. She also holds certifications in Volunteer Management, Data Analytics, Business Analysis, and Salesforce Administration. Simone, her partner, and Welsh Corgi reside in Portland, Oregon, which stands upon the traditional village sites of the Multnomah, Wasco, Cowlitz, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Bands of Chinook, Tualatin, Kalapuya, Molalla, and many other tribes who made their homes along the Columbia River.
