Miami, Florida(Hexa PR Wire–December 18, 2025)–Rachel Hutchisson, social impact executive and CEO of Common Impact—joins The Michael Peres Podcast to unpack how companies and their people can become a measurable force for good when impact is treated like a real operating system, not a side project. Rachel shares how a service-driven childhood quietly shaped her leadership style, why she once thought journalism was her path, and how an “accidental” meeting led to an unexpected 31-year run at Blackbaud building technology that supports nonprofits and CSR teams. She also breaks down the connective thread between authenticity, entrepreneurship, and community-building at scale, plus how Common Impact mobilizes skilled professionals to deliver outcomes nonprofits can actually use.
