Juan Proaño
President

Juan M. Proaño is co-founder and President of Plus Three, which was formed in 2001 to improve the way progressive organizations build constituent groups and fundraise by giving them immediate access to the widest array of contributors, while reducing the cost of each dollar raised. During the last 10 years Juan has developed a level of expertise in the areas of product development, strategic marketing and software integration that have produced industry leading technologies and best practices in the fields of database marketing, email delivery technologies and one-to-one communications tactics for GOTV and fundraising efforts. In addition, he has guided the growth of Plus Three, most recently leading the acquisition of the PIRT group from Primedia.

Juan’s extensive work with Plus Three customers the Democratic National Committee (DNC), Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, John Kerry for President and the NAACP has established him as an expert in online fundraising, constituency management and the political landscape. His leadership was instrumental to the creation of the DNC Demzilla database that enabled the Democrats to raise more than $85 million online in 2004 and surpass the Republican National Committee’s fundraising efforts for the first time. Juan frequently provides leadership training, sharing his expertise in using technology in elections at national events, such as the Democratic National Convention, Democratic GAIN and the DNC Latino Leadership Conference. He also provides political and technology commentary and has appeared in national publications including the National Journal, Newsweek and Time.
