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.

From Isolation to Belonging: Building Connection Across Divides
Perhaps one of the most hopeful findings of More in Common’s research was the phenomenon of “cascading” interest in connection. The more people experience connecting with others, the more interested they might be in connecting again in the future-- finding themselves in a cycle that builds on the previous experience.
How We Are Showing Up for Our Partners
There is no one-size-fits-all solution to help all our grantee partners navigate the shifting context in which we work. We are leaning on our relational approach, actively and deeply listening, with a commitment to keep showing up in true partnership.
