Prashan Paramanathan
CEO

Prashan dreams about a world where the smartest kids in school choose to join non-profits and social enterprises instead of management consulting and law firms. He tried being a management consultant for a while, but ran off to start micro finance banks with the World Bank Group for rural farmers in China before living and breathing the Australian non-profit sector for the last four years.

Marlies Kimpe
Growth Manager

Marlies believes it is the responsibility of our generation to care for the environment, people and species with whom we share this beautiful planet we call home.
She was born and bred in Belgium and started her career in commercial sales for global biotech after completing her PhD in science, but quickly discovered that was not her true calling. Meanwhile, she had moved to Perth where her love for animals introduced her to PetRescue and the world of fundraising for social causes. She progressed her career in the non-profit sector as she moved to London, where she worked as a Corporate Fundraiser for WaterAid before joining the team at Chuffed.org.

Dave Pisek
Web development

Dave started his journey in a little Austrian town called Innsbruck. There he gained experience as a full-stack web developer for a local startup and, at times, feeding mountain goats.
Somehow he ended up in Sydney, where he specialized in Front End Development, and enjoyed working for companies like World Nomads and News Corp. The work there was good and helped him to grow as a developer but something was missing.
Chuffed was able to fill that gap - the perfect job: Doing some good by doing what I love.

David Lai
Web development

David has worked in a number of roles within the web development space. From an all-rounder role at Create Studios, to a more front-end focused role at Adrenalin working with some of Australia's most recognised not-for-profits. He's most recently worked at recruitment marketplace Search Party, focusing on product improvements and feature builds.
He hopes to bring his passion for refining the user experience to Chuffed for both campaign creators and campaign supporters alike.

Rebecca Fitzgerald
Communications and Events Manager

Since Rebecca can remember she’s been a socially conscious kid wanting to leave a (positive) mark on the world wherever she can. After graduating from university she continued her charitable life journey, working for non-profits around Australia, Africa and the UK. Her main passion lies with building sustainable solutions to problems faced by vulnerable communities across the globe. She’s joined the Chuffed.org family at an exciting time of growth and can’t wait to use her skills to help campaigners raise their impact.

Carl Francis
Customer Support Advocate

He has spent over 3 years working in the charity sector before joining Chuffed. Carl also jointly runs a YouTube channel / Facebook Page called “Caruzmatic”, which aims to show people how they can get involved in social action.
