Hillary brings deep experience in program management, education, and industry experience, along with a strategic mindset and a passion for driving meaningful impact. Outside of work, Hillary’s dedication shines just as brightly — she recently completed her 12th NYC Marathon with the New York Road Runners! 🗽 Her perseverance, focus, and endurance—both on and off the course—are truly inspiring. Even better, she ran with Fred's Team, raising funds for lifesaving cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, with 100% of every dollar going directly to the cause. We’re so excited for the energy, expertise, and heart Hillary brings to our team and the clients we serve. Welcome, Hillary! 🌟 #TeamSpotlight #Leadership #Education #ProgramManagement #NYCMarathon #SandlerSearch #NonprofitLeadership #NYRR

The TCS NYC Marathon (November 2!) is the best day of the year in New York City. This is true not only for the runners, but for the entire city! Today New York Road Runners announced the results of an economic impact study which showed that in 2024 NYRR generated almost $1 billion in economic impact to New York City, with over $600 million coming from the TCS NYC Marathon. We are proud to say this makes the marathon equal to the entire season of both Yankees and Mets games combined in terms of economic impact.
