Former ADMA director of communications and customer experience and experienced marketer, Katherine Raskob, has taken up the CEO reins at the Fundraising Institute of Australia (FIA).
Raskob assumes the CEO mantle from Rob Edwards, who is stepping down after seven years at the helm of the association. FIA has more than 1500 members and focuses on Australia’s $12.5 billion charitable fundraising sector.
Before joining ADMA, Raskob spent less than a year as global head of marketing and communications for recruitment firm, Talent International. Prior to this, she was group marketing director for SBS. In all, she boasts of 20 years’ experience across corporate and not-for-profits in both professional roles and on boards, and is also a member of the board of directors for Girl Guides Australia.
“Katherine’s knowledge of member organisations and her experience across commercial and not-for-profit environments in senior leadership and marketing and communications roles will be invaluable to FIA as we embark on our next phase of growth,” FIA chair, James Garland, said.
Raskob said she was looking forward to working in a strong sector supported by so many Australians.
“FIA is well positioned for further growth as it seeks to expand its representation to include both individual fundraisers as well as charities and non-profit organisations and I’m looking forward to leading this growth into the future,” she said.
Raskob is one of a number of executive departures and changes for ADMA/AADL in recent months. In March, ADMA's leader and instigator of the AADL, Jodie Sangster, left the association after a seven-year run as CEO. Just a month earlier, the group appointed COO, Steve Singha, who became acting CEO across the group while a replacement was sought.
CEO skills gained at Aussie Home Loans, Newcastle Permanent Building Society and SAI Global, and from board, founder and executive director roles throughout many sectors and geographies.

In early 2020, I had the pleasure of staying at the newly opened Fullerton Hotel in Sydney. It was on this trip I first became aware of the Fullerton’s commitment to brand storytelling.
If you’ve been around advertising long enough, you’ve probably seen (or written) a slide which says: “They won’t remember what you say, they’ll remember how you made them feel.” But it’s wrong. Our understanding of how emotion is used in advertising has been ill informed and poorly applied.
The launch of a new brand, or indeed a rebrand, is a transformation to be greeted with fanfare. So why is it that once the brand has launched, the brand execution phase can also be the moment at which you kill its creativity?
Algorithms that can make sense of unstructured data is the future. It's great to see experts in the field getting together to discuss AI.
