About Christy Mack
Born and raised in New York’s Hudson Valley and now living in California, Christy has built, revived and reinvented organizations from the global to hyper local. She has advanced the work of more than 75 mission-driven non-profits, companies, civic organizations, entrepreneurs, and artists over the last 20+ years from start up to growth.
“I have seen the impact that can come from having a vision for what you want to create and bringing it to life through collaboration. I set up Bess to sit at the intersection of arts, culture and activism, making Bess a platform for shaping societal change through the work we undertake together. ”
Christy has extensive experience in creating strategic plans, building brands, establishing partnerships, securing funding, creating offerings, leading communications, and expanding outreach strategies. She’s focused on ensuring unique identities for organizations with clear calls to action that inspire people to engage in the mission of the organization.
Christy also serves on non-profit boards and is a grant maker. She’s overseen the distribution of more than $1 million to non-profits – all to promote caring, creative, equitable communities. Christy has been recognized as a Diablo Magazine Threads of Hope honoree and received a U.S. Congressional Award for her philanthropic work.
“With Bess, Christy continues to dream and plan big from her East Bay studio and can’t wait for what’s next.”
