Our Leadership team has over 50 years' experience with Blackbaud solutions and technologies.
Thomas and Jim Evans, with a combined 53 years experience in the Blackbaud ecosystem, have journeyed through the ranks from their early days in Customer Support roles at Blackbaud during the late 1990’s, to now, together leading Mission BI. Thomas & Jim are relentlessly dedicated to leveraging their extensive experience to continue developing and delivering transformational solutions that empower nonprofits with better tools to achieve their missions.
Thomas Evans
President & CEO
I began my journey serving nonprofits in 1996 as a Blackbaud Customer Support Product Specialist and BBU Trainer. Between my time at Blackbaud, my many years of consulting, and my time leading Mission BI, I have dedicated over 25 years to serving the Blackbaud community with technical consulting, training and specialized reporting solutions.
Mission BI was born out of my desire to expand custom reporting and business intelligence capabilities for Blackbaud customers in order to help them to be more data driven in their decision-making as they work each day to advance their causes.
I recently realized a long term goal for Mission BI when I successfully recruited my brother Jim, a long-time RE NXT expert, to Mission BI in 2022 as an investor and Mission BI's new Product Ambassador for ActiveEcho™. Jim and I went on to spend a full year working together on the complete migration and redevelopment of ActiveEcho™ on to the Microsoft Azure Cloud Platform.
With fifty years of Blackbaud technical expertise between us, and now all the power and possibilities of the Azure Cloud Platform underlying ActiveEcho™, Jim and I are excited about the innovative new solutions coming down the road that will continue to add value as our customers work each day to advance their missions.
Jim Evans
Product Ambassador for ActiveEcho™
As a Product Ambassador for ActiveEcho™, I'm dedicated to fueling nonprofit success through the power of data insights. In 2001, I founded Bradford Consulting (Bradfordllc.com) after my tenure at Blackbaud, where I served nonprofits in various capacities, including conducting custom and regional trainings, hosting user groups, and leading the nationwide rollout of RE7. Beginning in 2019, I spent 28 months conducting manual conversions and implementations of the Raiser’s Edge NXT for Blackbaud at NPact. With 26 years of Raiser's Edge experience as a trainer and consultant, I have firsthand knowledge of the profound impact that robust reporting delivers. Having taught the basic, advanced, and custom Crystal Reports classes, I know how powerful reporting can be.
My objective is to empower organizations to seamlessly integrate their data with cutting-edge reporting tools like PowerBI, Power Apps, Tableau, and Qlik Sense. I'll be moderating ActiveEcho™ user groups and facilitating report sharing sessions, providing nonprofits with the tools they need to make informed, high-impact decisions, drive innovation, and ultimately achieve mission success.
Join the movement towards advanced reporting and AI-driven insights with ActiveEcho’s 2nd generation Azure platform. Together, let's empower nonprofits to maximize their impact. We are shaping the future of nonprofit data analytics.
