About Gwynne Gauntlett

As the Global Lead for Digital Giving & Engagement at the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), I bring deep expertise in advancing public awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and driving resource mobilization through innovative partnerships and digital campaigns. Working closely with private sector partners like Samsung Electronics, I spearhead impactful co-created initiatives such as the Samsung Global Goals app, which reaches 300M+ mobile users worldwide, and #Generation17, a global initiative to champion young people who lead #NGOs for the #SDGs. This work aligns corporate responsibility goals with global development objectives, delivering increased impact through partnership.Previously, I held leadership roles in digital marketing and fundraising at Columbia University in the City of New York, where I helped lead pioneering programs like Columbia Giving Day, driving significant growth in donor engagement and fundraising outcomes. My years at Young & Rubicam and building businesses in the early days of Silicon Alley were my bootcamp.While my approach is rooted in relationships that deliver value, I consistently focus on the power of best-in-class digital solutions and storytelling as a means to deliver measurable impact.
