As a global management consulting, technology services, and outsourcing company, Accenture helps corporations along the same lines that NPower Northwest does for nonprofit clients. So it’s a natural fit for the company to support NPower and our mission to catalyze innovation and drive adoption of technology solutions to strengthen the nonprofit sector.
“I think NPower has a great mission in what it’s doing to bring technology to small organizations and the community so that they can work better and smarter,” says Greg Luethe, Accenture Partner and member of NPower Northwest’s CIO Council. “By volunteering at NPower I bridge the gap between my work helping big companies with technology, and what NPower is doing helping nonprofits.”
Ali Piyarali, Senior Executive at Accenture and longtime NPower Northwest Board member, concurs. “Volunteering with NPower is a rewarding experience. You learn a lot, both professionally and on the people side as you come to understand how nonprofits really work.” Ali feels the work is more important than ever. “We have a lot to do. The need for services at the nonprofit level is stronger now than ever before. Capacity building with NPower is a fantastic way to do more with less.”
Ali and Greg have big visions for what’s possible for the Accenture-NPower partnership. “If I were king for a day,” says Ali, “I would create a pool of people that NPower can draw upon to provide services. It would be a win-win-win for Accenture, NPower and nonprofits.” Greg agrees, adding, “I envision an Accenture team that feels connected to NPower in the same way that Ali and I are now.”
Thank you Ali and Greg for your support and partnership!
