Christine Baitsell
Administrative Lead
I manage administration, executive office operations, and project support across portfolios with the Einhorn Collaborative team.
Most rewarding moment since joining Einhorn Collaborative
Each day has brought “bright spot” moments of feeling connected to a great team, who are also amazing humans and deeply committed to their work. I love the conversations we have, both about the work we do and sharing our personal lives.
Something people may not know about me
I grew up on a pig farm in a rural part of Nebraska, located outside of my hometown that has a population of 200 people. I moved to the East Coast when I was 19 years old, all by myself, and never looked back.
Something that inspires me
“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.” – Maya Angelou
Before Einhorn Collaborative
Before joining, I spent almost six years working for Greenlight Capital, as part of a small but mighty administrative team. Prior to joining the Greenlight family, I was the Director of Special Events for Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts for 14 years. I produced various fundraising and stewardship events and developed fundraising goals centered around the mission of presenting diverse musical performances of the highest quality.
How to Foster Belonging and Embrace Our Differences: A Lesson From My Choir Teacher
I thought of the many times Mrs. Wich could have pointed out my mistakes but instead chose to catch me “doing something right.” She understood that positive developmental relationships between teachers and students could make an outsized difference in our social and emotional health and well-being, our self-confidence, and our ability to positively engage with others.
Redefining Fatherhood with Care and Connection
The emotional connection and unconditional love that we fostered in our children’s first years of life remain critical to their health and well-being through adolescence and adulthood.
