With more than 25 years of experience in executive leadership, governance, financial, operational, team building, and program development, Gutierrez is a seasoned leader in the field of advancement. He has held senior leadership positions at several organizations, including the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago, Chairman of the Board for St. Daniel the Prophet Grammar School, and Co-Chair of the Nuestro Futuro (Hispanic Heritage) Affinity fund at Chicago Community Trust. In his new role at Chicago Hope Academy, he will lead the school’s fundraising and development efforts and oversee marketing and communications.
