Alison Benes

Senior Consultant

A creative consultant who leans on Salesforce expertise (she’s completed over 100 Trailhead badges!), Alison is passionate about helping nonprofits succeed. Her career is centered around partnering with inspiring clients to thoroughly understand their needs and leveraging Salesforce functionality to support strategy.

Alison joined the Heller team after working for more than 7 years at Cara Collective, a leading workforce development organization in Chicago. At Cara Collective, Alison administrated the entire organization’s Salesforce instance and even developed a web portal for Cara participants to manage their job search and view their status within the program all by using Salesforce.

When not working, she is probably attending a film festival and eating New York-style pizza while extolling the benefits of being a Gemini.
