“Fall down seven times,
stand up eight.”

Luke Heffernan

Co-Founder, Managing Director

Luke has over 15 years’ experience in fundraising. He started his career as a fundraiser at university and worked his way from the ground up to senior fundraising and marketing management roles in Australia. In his time in Australia, he was GM for Australia’s largest phone agency, launched a start-up corporate giving platform which became the fastest growing platform for employee giving in Australia, and set up a new branch of a fundraising agency in NZ. His most recent role was based out of Singapore, where he was Marketing and Fundraising Director for WWF. In his time there, he grew WWF’s marketing team from one of the smallest teams in the network to one of the largest in the world with 100 staff. He doubled revenue in 2 years also contributing to regional growth in face-to-face fundraising revenue in offices like the Philippines, Malaysia, and India. In 2018 Luke set up Omniraise with a vision to raise the bar for fundraising in Asia and build a next-generation agency that will attract the best and brightest to become fundraisers and marketers for the NGO sector in Asia.

 

Why did you join OmniRaise?

NGOs are looking to increase their impact and raise more funds than ever for their cause, but there’s a lack of experienced marketing agencies in Asia to provide that expertise and capacity to generate funds at scale. Most of the fundraising dollars have been raised from Europe and America in the past, but Asia is the next big thing for fundraising. At the same time, I can see young people yearn for more meaning and purpose in their careers, and I see fundraising as one of the best careers to meet that burning desire for purpose and to make a difference.

 

Why do you love working at OmniRaise?

First and foremost, it’s our people – I love seeing people grow and achieve great things for our partners. Everyone shares a sense of purpose and fun. I also love the diversity of people we can work with across our offices in Asia. Seeing the impact our work creates for our clients keeps us inspired every day.

 

Hobbies:

I am a bit of a fitness fanatic – cycling, swimming, crossfit, running – and now venturing into Muay Thai boxing! Food, reading, and travel are my other hobbies!

Aaron Norman

Co-Founder & Director of Digital, IT, Data and Compliance

Aaron’s passion for fundraising started in 2006 when he joined a fundraising agency in Sydney, Australia. He quickly progressed from a fundraiser to coach, team leader, and beyond. Within 4 years he was managing up to 100 staff, with 12 direct reports across two countries (Australia and New Zealand), and achieving some of the strongest Telemarketing results across these markets. After 10 years of working in fundraising in Australia/New Zealand and obtaining the role of General Manager for Telefundraising Operations, Aaron decided to broaden his experience and move to London, UK. It was here where Aaron fine-tuned his skills working with Amnesty International UK and most recently, holding the position of Global Telemarketing Specialist for Amnesty International Secretariat.
As Global TM Specialist for AI Secretariat, Aaron worked across markets in Europe, Americas, and Asia implementing new TM strategies, launching Inhouse teams, and focused on the continued improvement and increased performance of Telemarketing as a whole, this was achieved by working closely with all channels – Digital, DRTV, and F2F. Most notable due to Aaron’s direction and input, multiple markets in Amnesty International improved their Telemarketing performance with their largest market (USA) tripling results and revenue compared to the historical performance..

In 2018, Aaron and Luke set up OmniRaise with the determination to raise the bar for fundraising in Asia. Supporting organizations to meet their growth goals, allowing them to focus on delivering the highest possible impact.

 

Why did you join OmniRaise?

After working with Amnesty International across multiple regions I found that Asia had a clear gap for quality fundraising agencies. I wanted to create an organization that could support all charities in meeting their growth goals and strengthen proven channels that continue to allow charities to deliver effective

impact. On top of this, I can support the next generation on fundraisers. I originally developed my fundraising skills working for an agency and was able to use these skills directly within an organization/cause I care deeply about. I hope fundraisers who work with OmniRaise eventually go on to help strengthen the entire sector with the skills they develop here.

 

Why do you love working at OmniRaise?

For me, there are three key areas I love about OmniRaise:
1. The fact that I come to work and raise funds for some of the best causes. I feel like I can directly make an impact by increasing the reach of amazing organizations.
2. I support the growth and development of talented individuals, seeing them develop their professional and personal life. It’s amazing to see the transformation people go through as fundraisers.
3. The team culture and sense of purpose from everyone at OmniRaise is inspiring and continually motivating. Being part of this energy gives me constant motivation to push and develop my own skills.”

 

Hobbies:

Traveling, food, and monopoly deal… in no particular order.

At OmniRaise, I have gained more professional experiences in HR and I could become a great giver or consultant at once. I always love the challenges in this career path with this company; I can totally see my development and huge achievement here – not only for myself but the world too.

Why did you join OmniRaise?

I have a passion for teaching and human development is borne out of wanting to help the new generation of successful young leaders and superstars and I feel that I can further develop this at OmniRaise. I am an entrepreneur by nature and I want to raise the bar of fundraising within Thai society to be a more accepted and credible concept.

You don’t find a lot of jobs in a society where you feel like you are doing good things every day. OmniRaise provides me with an environment where I can be creative and think strategically. Working here opens up a platform for me to speak openly, think outside of the box, and exchange ideas. Our team at OmniRaise is not afraid of failure because we believe failure is a key part of success, as cliché as it may sound I believe that whoever has never made a mistake has never done anything worth doing!

Balkish Pryadhashiny Theagarajan

People Operations Manager

Balkish came from a Psychology background, graduated from HELP University in Bachelor of Psychology. Early on, Balkish worked in different roles ranging from a waitress to a teacher before finally joining Shopee as an intern where she was promoted to a role in HR.

However, her passion was always about serving other Balkish always dreamt of being a representative for the United Nations and she felt she found what she was looking for in Omniraise.

Why did you join OmniRaise?

At the age of 19, I wrote on a small piece of paper saying that I wanted to represent the United nation in any way that I can whether directly or indirectly. Also not many think about “building” a career in the service line. There is always that thought that to give back you need to be rich to do so and if you start your career of being in the service line you can’t have a proper lifestyle. When I found Omniraise I just thought it is a match made in heaven not only o can be in the service line but i can’t build a career out of it the same time, as a bonus, they happen to have UN as their client. So I leaped at the opportunity of leaving my stable job from Shopee Mobile and started from scratch as a F2F Fundraiser here in Omniraise.

Why do you love working at OmniRaise?

Working here I’ve learned that it’s not just about dreaming to succeed, but having that clear vision to find it, the courage to get on it, and the perseverance to follow it. So dare to dream but get ready to work for it

Your favorite causes

Wui Li has over 12 years of experience in finance and accounting. Wui Li was a former Big 4 Audit Manager with experience as a Financial Controller with key accomplishments such as successfully listing a Construction Company in Bursa Malaysia, involved in merger & acquisition, obtaining financing, and overseas expansion of a food distributor.

Instead of continuing my path with large MNCs, I chose the path of becoming a trusted business partner/advisor to entrepreneurs to help them corporatize their business and bring up the standards of finances, team, and policies to another level.

Wui Li is a Chartered Accountant in Malaysia with the following educational background:
i) FCCA (Fellow Chartered and Certified Accountant under ACCA)
ii) First Class Honors Bachelor of Science in Applied Accounting from Oxford Brookes University
iii) Certified Investor Relations (“CIR”)
iv) ASEAN CPA

 

Why did you join OmniRaise?

The challenge of setting up the regional finance functions as well as overseas expansion.

As we continue to expand OmniRaise throughout Asia and grow our existing businesses, we are able to help key customers such as UNICEF / WWF / UNHCR / Greenpeace reach out to the untapped Asia market and contribute towards a greater cause. This will also open up opportunities for us to tap into new customers as more companies will look to outsource their fundraising team/marketing/sales team because the cost to maintain an internal team becomes more expensive.

Also, my mom survived cancer and is free of cancer for more than 10 years. Thus, it felt right to contribute towards an organization that helps raise funds for the National Cancer Society Malaysia.

 

Why do you love working at OmniRaise?

Knowing that I can make an impact whether it’s the improvement of processes, providing financials that bring meaning to users of the financials, overseas expansion, tax planning, mentoring / guiding team members, etc.

 

Your favorite causes:
