Samantha Jakubowski is Senior Director of Advancement at Leading Edge, working to ensure that Leading Edge has the resources it needs to grow and serve more leaders and organizations. Before Boardified was acquired by Leading Edge, she was Chief Growth Officer at Boardified.

Sam has been fundraising since her parents led the PTA's Fun Fair (though she didn't know it at the time!), and has raised over $7 million for Jewish organizations. Before Boardified, she was the Chief Advancement Officer for JCYS, where she oversaw the agency's fundraising, marketing, communications, and leadership development program. Sam graduated from Northwestern University with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and a minor in Business Institutions. When she isn't organizing spreadsheets, she uses tacos to motivate herself to go to barre class.
