Joshua Gershman

I’ve spent my nearly two-decades-long career split between being a technologist and a front-line fundraiser – and I care deeply about supporting the work of organizations that advocate for a safer, stronger, healthier world.

As vice president overseeing digital production at MissionWired, I lead our digital production team and specialize in finding and advocating for innovative and expansive technological solutions to streamline our production process and eliminate roadblocks. Our production team’s efforts to build digital fundraising campaigns over email, web, and beyond helps to support the critical work of nonprofit and political organizations fighting to change the world for the better. We are responsible for building, testing, segmentation, and sending emails and texts across our wide array of clients – including more than 15,000 in 2023.

I’m passionate about supporting causes and organizations that advocate and defend the earth, animals, and children; and especially organizations with missions to preserve the dignity and respect of refugees and immigrants, cancer patients, and those who are unhoused. Over the course of my career, I’ve been lucky to work with some incredible nonprofit fundraising teams – and have built systems for each of them that are still active and functional today. And a fun fact about me, I never pass up an opportunity to give an extended lecture on Star Trek or Liverpool Football Club!
