Two impact-focused tech firms have moved their CEOs to the board as executive changes continue across Canada.
“I feel profound comfort in my decision to step down as CEO and pass the baton to Toan Dinh.”
Former GoFundMe COO Soraya Alexander will step into the top job at Calgary-based charitable donation management software firm Benevity on Nov. 1. Meanwhile, Toronto-based accessibility tech startup Fable has appointed former Boast chief revenue officer Toan Dinh as CEO.
Alexander replaces Christopher Maloof, who will chair Benevity’s board just over one year after he replaced CEO Kelly Schmitt (who now heads Headversity). Benevity founder and board member Bryan de Lottinville called Maloof the right leader to “shepherd” Benevity at the time.
“Chris has led Benevity through an important phase of growth and transformation, strengthening our foundation for innovation at scale,” de Lottinville said following Maloof’s shift to the board.
He said Alexander brings “unique skills” that will help accelerate how Benevity serves its clients and nonprofit partners. Alexander was an executive at fundraising platform Classy when it was acquired by GoFundMe in 2022. Following the acquisition, she was COO and president of GoFundMe Pro until she left the company this past April.
Founded in 2008, Benevity offers community investment as well as employee, customer, and nonprofit engagement software solutions. Earlier this year, the company launched its refreshed Enterprise Impact Platform and appointed Ian Goldsmith its first-ever chief AI officer.
