Caroline Krantz | director of Business Development

Caroline Krantz joined CDP as the Director of Business Development at the start of 2021. In this relatively new role, she leads CDP’s efforts to increase our scale of service to public media entities. Her focus is to advance and innovate upon one of CDP’s core purposes: providing partner stations' and organizations' greater net revenue through increasingly effective fundraising techniques while driving down costs.

Caroline spent nearly two decades at Forrester Research, helping their clients achieve success through intense and systematic customer focus before deciding to refocus her energies toward public service mission-driven organizations. Most recently, Caroline led the Community Engagement team of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Eastern Massachusetts (BBBSEM). Through youth and volunteer recruitment, she grew BBBSEM’s comprehensive mentoring programs to improve the lives of more than 3,000 under-resourced children and their families. Before that she consulted with the youth service organization Year Up, contributing savvy market analyses to the organization’s efforts to help close the opportunity divide in the Merrimack Valley.

Caroline lives with her husband in Quincy, MA. Outside of work she enjoys yoga, gardening, listening to music, kicking up her cooking skills, being with her labradoodle and, when possible, traveling the world. She rarely misses an episode of PBS NewsHour. She is a graduate of Bridgewater University.
