About Bill Fort

Wharton School graduate, having completed the Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) Program, with 15+ years of experience building and leading high‑performing sales organizations at world‑class enterprise technology companies including Salesforce, Oracle, and SAP. I now leverage that foundation to lead sales at Blackbaud, a public $1B+ company dedicated to empowering organizations across the Social Impact ecosystem to further their missions and create meaningful change. My career has been defined by helping customers realize measurable outcomes while developing teams that consistently outperform. Core competencies include strategic sales leadership, motivating and developing talent, executive‑level mainstage presentation skills, complex deal execution, and closing at scale. Above all, I lead with unwavering integrity—earning trust with customers, partners, and teams alike. This combination of enterprise sales expertise, people‑first leadership, and purpose‑driven focus has resulted in a consistent track record of personal and corporate achievement, while enabling organizations to do more good in the world, and telling bad dad jokes along the way.
