Just four short weeks ago, we were acquired by Blackbaud. Honestly, that felt like the highlight of my year and maybe my career. Building a startup, pouring your heart into solving a problem for schools, and then finding a company equally committed to that mission is something special. This week reminded me that the real highlight isn’t the deal. It’s the people. I had the privilege of joining the K–12 Blackbaud Advisor Board Retreat in Charleston, SC. Spending time with some of the most talented and passionate advocates for private/independent schools was inspiring (and yes, there were plenty of laughs). As for my new Blackbaud family, getting to spend time with them was just as inspiring. Sitting alongside people who are passionate about bringing great software to schools made me feel right at home even as the “new guy.” Reflecting on the SchoolBI journey, the milestones that matter most aren’t logos or headlines. They’re relationships. The people who welcome you, challenge you, and remind you why you love this industry. I am massively grateful for the chance to work with so many wonderful school leaders and the warm welcome. Excited for the journey ahead.
