Harry Santa-Olalla

Harry is a professional auctioneer and experienced fundraising consultant with a proven ability to help not-for-profits raise more through their auctions and pledge drives. Born and raised in the UK, he began his fundraising career in London, working closely with many of Europe's largest not-for-profits and using technology and an engaging methodology to help them raise more at gala benefits.

Identifying New York as the fundraising capital of the world, he moved to the US full time in 2014 and quickly became a market leader, supporting many of the largest not-for-profit campaigns stateside as both a pre-campaign consultant and an on-stage presence.

His approach is methodical, drawing on data from previous years and analysis of event formats and guest demographics to help clients set and challenge their audience against ambitious goals, with a focus on maximizing participation in the auction or pledge drive.
