Emily Callahan is going home to Oklahoma. Most recently the chief marketing officer of ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness arm of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, she was appointed president and CEO of Feed The Children in Oklahoma City.

Callahan is a native Oklahoman who has spent more than 25 years working across the nonprofit and corporate sector to build global movements that raised billions of dollars. She helped increase revenue at ALSAC from $600 million to more than $2.5 billion in roughly 50 consecutive quarters of growth. During that period St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital became the Most Trusted Brand of any brand in America per Morning Consult.

“Emily brings new perspective to the work of Feed the Children,” said Mike Hogan, chairman of the board for Feed the Children, via a statement. “Her deep experience in growth and transformation will elevate our impact as we continue to focus on significant hunger issues we have around the world. We’re excited for how she’ll move Feed the Children forward as we celebrate 50 years of impact.”

Prior to her work at ALSAC, she was senior vice president of Global Marketing & Networks at Susan G. Komen, where she helped double revenue and led operations with oversight of more than 100 independently incorporated affiliates. She has served as vice chair for ANA (the Association of National Advertisers), vice chair for the Alliance for Inclusive and Multicultural Marketing and is a founder and chair of The Memphis Brand, one of the nation’s only place-based branding initiatives.

“As a native Oklahoman, it is the honor of a lifetime to return home to join Feed the Children, reconnecting with my community and serving alongside our partners, children and families around the world,” said Callahan said via a statement. “Together, we can be a powerful movement, raising significant funds and awareness to expand the mission, reach and impact of Feed the Children globally to improve the lives of thousands of children and families who need us most.”
