Kara Cruoglio

Project and product management consulting for nonprofits

I am a mission-driven product and technology leader with over 20 years of experience delivering high-impact digital solutions for progressive nonprofit organizations and purpose-driven businesses. I specialize in managing complex CRM implementations, building scalable platforms, and aligning digital strategy with organizational goals.

I have held senior product roles at The Trevor Project, where I led a transformational migration of the donor database, and Jackson River, where I managed the evolution of Springboard, a digital fundraising and advocacy platform used by premier nonprofit organizations. Prior to that, I was the Director of Project Management and Production at Threespot, a Washington, DC-based interactive agency, where I managed a staff of project managers and developed and implemented policies, procedures, and software solutions that increased operational efficiency.

As the founder of Cruoglio Consulting, I partner with nonprofit and social sector clients to solve complex technology challenges—from platform selection and vendor management to roadmap planning and stakeholder alignment.
