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.
