About
I’m Allie Madden — a people-centered leader working at the intersection of sustainability, stakeholder engagement, and inclusive systems change. With 7+ years across the nonprofit, clean energy, and social impact sectors and over a decade of experience in communications, I specialize in building collaborative programs, aligned partnerships, and resilient teams that turn values into measurable impact.
As Director of Marketing & Stakeholder Relations at the Collective Clean Energy Fund, I lead initiatives that expand equitable access to clean energy while strengthening community partnerships grounded in trust, accountability, and local leadership. My work spans internal culture and external engagement, supporting cross-functional teams in advancing mission-driven goals through clear strategy and shared ownership.
Rooted in empathy and systems thinking, I operate across communications, programs, and organizational development — with a focus on culture-building, equity integration, and the thoughtful implementation of programs that last. I thrive in environments where purpose and people are prioritized, and where strategy is shaped through collaboration, not silos.
