Carla Ingrando and Nathan Utz

New Sr. Director of Corporate Relations

Posted on by

Dear Colleagues,
I am excited to announce that Nathan Utz will serve as our new Senior Director of Corporate Relations. In this role Nathan is charged with leading the planning, organization and implementation of a best in class corporate relations program to advance our strategic research partnerships and overall financial support for the University’s faculty-led research. Nathan and the corporate relations team must work collaboratively with a number of internal campus stakeholders (e.g. Deans, Faculty, Office of Research, Career Center, Athletic Department, Procurement, etc.) to ensure our corporate partnership efforts are integrated and effective.

Nathan will also partner with Jim Morrison, (Senior Director of Academic Advancement) Carla Ingrando, (Senior Director of Foundation Relations) and the corporate/foundation/academic advancement teams, myself and others throughout development to ensure we fully incorporate our academic advancement strategy and maximize our fundraising success.

Nathan is an original member of our academic advancement team and enters this new role with more than five years of experience as the academic advancement director for the College of Engineering. Nathan partnered with faculty, corporations, individual benefactors and many members of our development team to secure more than $120M for the College of Engineering during his tenure. Nathan knows our faculty, our strategic research priorities and how to translate our research to key funders/partners. He is also deeply respected by the Dean of Engineering’s leadership team, faculty, fundraisers, the Engineering Advisory Council and many others, which will be incredibly valuable in his new role.

Prior to returning to Notre Dame, Nathan was partial owner of a private engineering/ architectural consulting firm in Chicago. He also earned a bachelor of science in civil engineering (structural) from the University of Notre Dame.

I am deeply grateful to have someone of Nathan’s character, caliber and depth overseeing our Corporate Team. He will continue to serve as the academic advancement director for the College of Engineering this fall while also jumping into his new corporate relations role.

Please join me in congratulating Nathan!

All the best,

Shannon Cullinan

Jesus Bravo, Newest East Team Member

Posted on by

I am delighted to announce our newest team member, Jesus Bravo.  Jesus is a Notre Dame graduate, Class of 2004, majoring in Economics and Pre-Med. He is originally from Chicago, where he served on the ND Club of Chicago Board as a Young Alumni representative. Most recently, Jesus was with Ahead LLC as a Sales Business Analyst Manager. His experience includes sales and sales management at Tracfone Wireless, Dannon, and United States Gypsum. He was also with JPMorgan Chase as a personal banker.

 Jesus is relocating to South Bend from Chicago, accompanied by his pet schnauzer, Tin-tan.  Since Tin-tan takes his commands in Spanish, he is as bi-lingual as Jesus (who speaks Spanish and French). Ask Jesus about his experience on Drive-ins, Diners, and Dives – he’s a foodie by his own admission.
 Jesus will serve Notre Dame in the New York City and Upstate New York markets, based here in South Bend.  Please join me in extending a very warm Notre Dame welcome to Jesus when he arrives on August 8.

My very best,

Anne Griffith

Congratulations to John Butkovich on His Retirement/New Role

Posted on by

Colleagues:

You may have heard that our colleague and friend, John Butkovich, is retiring his full-time position within the Office of Gift Planning.  John has been an integral member of our team and has been a key component of our growth since the time he arrived.  Fortunately though, we don’t say “goodbye” to John completely.
Beginning in the fall, we will be engaging John on a part time basis in a different role so that he may continue to help advance gift planning at the University.  He will be engaged to help with projects related to administering estates, including the implementation of a new record keeping and report writing function related to estates.  We are very excited that John has agreed to return in this new role.
This Friday, July 29th will be his last full-time day with us and he will be available for transition matters as needed.  In November, John will re-join us and continue the estate administration work.  John is expecting to be in the office each day upon his return and looks forward to continuing to help drive the mission of the University.
During John’s absence, please feel free to direct any questions to Ken Hendricks or me as it relates to specific responsibilities that will be transitioned.  All estate matters should be directed to Ken Hendricks in the interim period.  Upon John’s return, we’ll give further detail regarding estate matter processing and operations.
Please join me in congratulating John for his first act of successful duty with the University and thank him.  We look forward to welcoming John back for the second act soon!
Best regards,
Greg Dugard
