We, the AIM Board and outgoing CEO Joey Savoie, are delighted to announce that Samantha Kagel has been selected as AIM's new CEO, effective December 1, 2025.
Over the last few months, we have been engaged in a highly important activity: finding AIM’s next CEO. This was not an easy position to fill, as we sought someone who could lead the organization to high growth and impact while retaining the core elements that have made AIM unique.
We were committed to conducting a thorough search and put out a public call for candidates, considering over 100 applicants from both public applications and referrals. We evaluated external candidates, internal team members, and past charity graduates, and ultimately identified Samantha as the candidate whom we believe will best execute the next stages of AIM’s development.
About Samantha
Samantha has served on AIM's executive team as Chief Programs Officer for the past 1.5 years, leading the strategy and delivery of our Charity Entrepreneurship function. In this role, she has demonstrated exceptional capability across multiple dimensions: building collaborative teams, driving strategic execution, and maintaining unwavering focus on impact.
Before joining the executive team, Samantha successfully filled nearly every role across our organization, excelling in each one. Prior to joining AIM, she worked as an Organizational Development Consultant for nonprofits and as an Account Strategist at Google, where she managed growth plans for 400+ businesses.
We are confident that under Samantha's leadership, AIM will grow to become even more impactful. As CEO, she will bring organizational excellence, an emphasis on scale, and strong collaborative leadership.
While leadership transitions are significant moments, AIM's mission, values, and spirit remain constant.
A note from our incoming CEO, Samantha Kagel
"Since I first learned about Charity Entrepreneurship years ago, I’ve been inspired by the ambition, rigor, and humility of the organizations we launch and the teams behind them. My admiration has only grown as I’ve gotten closer to the work and realized just how much impact we are capable of accomplishing. I’m super grateful to Joey, Karolina, and the early AIM community for laying such impactful foundations and excited to build upon them in the next chapter."
To hear from Samantha directly about her incoming views on AIM's strategy, or to learn more about what our organizations have accomplished this year, we encourage you to join us for AIM Connect Online this Thursday. We'll begin with a Q&A between Samantha and Joey, for which you can submit questions here.
QuickBooks to Dynamics 365 Business Central Migration
The initial choice towards QuickBooks is pretty obvious and more likely to be the fast and easy decision for a small businesses or say, micro businesses at the beginning. As the small business takes shape towards the growth in market, its complexity also gets increased alongside which is when QuickBooks can no longer suffice the needs of the business.
Hence, it is important and much needed to migrate to Dynamics 365 Business Central for its ease of use and fulfilment for the complex needs of the growing small businesses and mid-size businesses.
