About Christopher Campbell

Chris Campbell is a Principal and Advancement Advisory Lead with Attain, where he partners with universities and non-profits as they navigate the opportunities to transform their technology solutions. He has been in Advancement for nearly two decades. He started with the Oklahoma State University Foundation in December 2004 and served in several capacities during his tenure. He began in Athletics, where he helped secure private funds for the football stadium’s $300 million Next Level Campaign, which was then the largest single capital campaign in the history of the University. Chris subsequently served as a major gifts officer for OSU’s Spears School of Business, engaging with and cultivating top alumni from the college and managing the annual fund drive for the Spears School. In 2008, Chris moved into the Foundation’s central offices to oversee the Prospect Development Team, growing it from two staff members to a department of ten during OSU’s comprehensive campaign, Branding Success. The campaign exceeded its $1 billion campaign goal eighteen months ahead of schedule and was the largest campaign in the state’s history at the time of completion. Chris served as the Senior Associate Vice President for the Information Strategy Business Unit, at OSUF where he oversaw a team of 25+ professionals responsible for the Foundation’s Information Technology, Records & Information Management, and Prospect Development activities. He also served on the Foundation’s Executive Leadership Team, which was tasked with setting the strategy and key initiatives for the organization. During his tenure, Chris was the Project Director for the successful implementation of a Salesforce-based advancement CRM solution. In his spare time, Chris enjoys attending OSU athletic events, golfing, playing guitar, and spending time with his family, including his wife, Kelly, and two young sons. Chris graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2002 from the Spears School of Business at Oklahoma State University, majoring in Management Information Systems with a minor in Marketing.
