Meet Our Partners

Zach Hochstadt
Creative Director, Founding Partner
Zach co-founded Mission Minded because he believed nonprofits deserved the same creative firepower as any Fortune 500. Two-plus decades later, he's still in the work — guiding foundations, arts organizations, universities, and social justice causes through brand, naming, and fundraising campaigns that have collectively helped clients raise well over a billion dollars.
Romayne Levee
Director of Strategy, Partner
Romayne spent years at BBDO and Chiat/Day before bringing that same rigorous strategic thinking to education. She now guides school boards and nonprofit leaders to build audacious strategic plans and brands that hold up long after the retreat is over, from San Francisco to Baltimore to LA.
Jennie Winton
Leadership Coach, Founding Partner
When leaders are stuck between what their organization is and what it needs to become, Jennie is who they call. A co-founder of Mission Minded and a sought-after one-on-one leadership coach, she's spent 30 years helping mission-driven organizations close the gap between their ambitions and the words they use to chase them.
