Until recently, Julie was Chief Strategic Alliance and Advancement Officer at the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH), where for nearly 20 years she led the organization’s fundraising and partnerships team, working closely with federal government partners, major national and international corporations and foundations and overseeing philanthropic fundraising. There she raised more than $900 million to establish and fund complexbiomedical research collaborations, train promising young scientists, and improve outcomes for patients treated at the NIH Clinical Center and around the world.
Julie’s responsibilities have also included creating and coordinating partnerships, negotiating complex agreements, staffing board committees, helping establish DEIA programs, and producing high-profile galas and award ceremonies, symposia and workshops, as well as developing and overseeing communications initiatives.
