Jamie Bearse

CEO | Coach | Galvanizer

A 21-year nonprofit executive, Jamie is a leader with a proven knack for transforming good causes into extraordinary success stories. As the founder and CEO of Build a Better NonProfit, he lends his expertise to nonprofits, helping them reach their full potential.

Previously, Jamie served as the CEO of ZERO Prostate Cancer, where his leadership led to a remarkable 500 percent growth in fundraising, reserve funds, and staff size over a decade. His strategic vision also helped launch the organization's run/walk series, which grew to become the largest men's health event series in the country with 50 locations.

Jamie's ability to unite communities toward a common cause was clear when he brought together the prostate cancer cause through the acquisition of Us TOO and launched its 10-region chapter program. These moves, together with his initiation of a successful multi-organizational partnership, led to an impressive $350M directed towards patient support.

Under Jamie's leadership, ZERO consistently earned industry-wide recognition. It graced The NonProfit Times' "50 Best NonProfits to Work for" list nine times and achieved a four-star rating from Charity Navigator. Moreover, it maintained a flawless record of perfect independent audits for over a decade.

Living outside of Boston with his family, Jamie is a former endurance athlete with a black belt in Kyokushin karate, a pop culture geek, and a nonprofit nerd - spending his time mentoring others in leadership, teamwork, strategy, fundraising, board-building, and advocacy.
