SANTA ANA, Calif., Sept. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Think Together, California’s leading nonprofit provider of expanded learning, afterschool programs, staffing, and school improvement services, is proud to announce the appointment of Jen Gillmore as chief revenue officer, joining the organization’s executive team and reporting directly to Think Together Founder and CEO Randy Barth.

Gillmore succeeds interim Chief Revenue Officer John Turner (JT), who was instrumental in launching Think Together’s new district partnerships team and securing 15 new school district and charter management organization contracts for the current academic year. With Gillmore’s leadership, Think Together will continue to advance its ambitious Think Next campaign goal of growing the organization 15 to 20 percent annually over the next five years.

“Jen is a proven leader with a track record of scaling organizations and building strong partnerships,” said Think Together Founder and CEO Randy Barth. “Her expertise and passion for education come at a pivotal moment for Think Together as we pursue bold growth and student impact goals. With Jen on our executive team, we’re not only strengthening our ability to serve more students across California but also advancing our vision of changing the odds for kids statewide.”

Gillmore brings extensive experience in sales and management from global companies including Google, Chronicle, Symantec and Verisign. She has driven national and international sales growth, built high-performing teams, and led major contract negotiations, translating complex business needs into clear, actionable strategies. At Think Together, she will lead strategic growth and partnership initiatives, positioning the organization to maximize the impact of California’s significant investment in expanded learning.
