Washington, DC and Berkeley, CA — September 21, 2015

Mal Warwick Donordigital, a leader in integrated fundraising, advocacy, and marketing for the nonprofit sector, announced today the appointment of Mwosi Swenson as President and CEO.

After over a decade of leadership, current President and CEO Dan Doyle leaves the agency in the strongest position it has ever been. He will provide ongoing transition counsel through the end of the year.

Mwosi, most recently Senior Vice President of Mal Warwick Donordigital, began at the agency 21 years ago. In her long career with the company, she has rapidly moved up the ladder, meeting every new challenge with great skill. Mwosi has provided expert fundraising strategy and oversight for some of the nation's most respected environmental, advocacy, and political organizations. A decade ago she launched the agency's digital fundraising division and in 2008 took the helm of Donordigital, the online fundraising firm acquired to support the agency's move into integrated fundraising. Under her leadership, the agency now provides premier integrated fundraising services for the majority of our clients. Mwosi is widely recognized for her leadership in integrated fundraising and her strategic thinking, and is often called upon to speak at industry conferences.

Dan Doyle noted, "I have every confidence Mwosi will build on all that we have accomplished together. My years with the agency have been incredibly exciting, and now that our Board of Directors is willing to make the transition to new leadership, I am in a great position to leave. I'm proud of our many achievements, and Mwosi and the agency are perfectly poised to rise to even greater heights."

Founder and Board Chair Mal Warwick added, "This is an exciting time for our agency. Dan has done a brilliant job introducing professional management procedures, building the best fundraising team in the industry, leading our merger with Donordigital, expanding the business to Washington, DC, and attracting more and bigger clients, including some of the most notable organizations in the nonprofit world. For some time now Dan has been assigning key responsibility to other members of the team so that this transition can take place smoothly. He leaves the company in the most capable hands with Mwosi."
