Justin Codinha

As an account executive, Justin Codinha oversees accounts for a number of high-profile performing arts clients, including several classical music and opera campaigns. As director of campaign manager development, Justin is responsible for recruiting, hiring and training all of SD&A’s on-site campaign managers. Additionally, he is actively involved in the creation of training support materials, such as employee manuals, and the development of caller training programs. Justin joined SD&A in 2009 as a caller on a telefundraising campaign for the Handel & Haydn Society, where he quickly distinguished himself as a top caller. Justin raised the bar in the phone room by soliciting the largest gifts on the campaign and by encouraging his fellow callers to follow suit. Recognizing Justin’s professionalism and teambuilding abilities, SD&A first promoted him to campaign manager on the Handel & Haydn Society campaign, and later to account executive and director of campaign manager development. Prior to joining the company, Justin spent seven years as an executive recruiter in the not-for-profit and government sector, conducting CEO searches and hiring high-profile senior staff members for Greenpeace, Casey Family Services, the Kennedy Donovan Center, Carney Hospital, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, and many other prominent organizations. He also gained extensive experience in fundraising and development while working as a development associate and event manager at Public Action for Arts and Education. Justin graduated with honors from Northeastern University in Boston, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in English literature with a minor in graphic design.
