The Development Debrief

155. CJ Orr: AI


Listen Later

Welcome back! This week, we will talk about some tools

within AI that save you time and money! In today’s episode, we’re breaking down the pros and cons of effective AI usage. We’ll discuss how you can save (in our estimation) $30,000 by optimizing your workflow, using simple yet powerful techniques.

 A bit more about our guest--Having served as a trusted

partner to clients for over 10 years, CJ Orr has broad experience in fundraising and development, executive leadership, strategic planning, campaigns, and event management. He has launched funds, designed and led strategic initiatives, and driven fundraising for large galas and campaigns ranging from $10M to $1B+ in revenue. As an expert project and relationship manager, he executes on the development of strategies and tactics to drive effective fundraising plans that meet or exceed targets.

 

Internally, CJ is responsible for setting and driving achievement of Orr Group’s financial targets and overseeing efficient operations within the firm. Additionally, CJ supports the efforts of Orr Group’s Growth team to identify and cultivate new business opportunities and build relationships with nonprofit partners, ensuring that the services offered are best aligned with their partners’ needs. 

 CJ’s background in finance provides him with a strong foundation in analytics, metrics and ROI. Prior to working at Orr Group, CJ worked in Institutional Fixed Income Trading at Alliance Bernstein, where he was responsible for funds trading, account management, and reviewing analytical research. He also spent several years in municipal bonds sales and trading at Oppenheimer & Co.


On our teams, we are trying to use AI in some form or another each day. One example is putting email chains of correspondence into chatgpt and having it summarize your conversation. This cuts down on a lot of time! If you want to go back and hear what CJ said he knows for sure the first time-- it is episode number 105. Please connect on instagram and Linkedin- I would love to hear from you!
