Elizabeth Bottonari began her career as an educator, spending a decade teaching and leading in public and private classrooms across Chicago and Charleston — including as a special education teacher, an elementary school teacher, and a curriculum consultant. She holds a Master of Teaching in Early Childhood and Developmental Risk from the University of Virginia's Curry School of Education and a B.A. in History and Spanish, Cum Laude, from Wake Forest University.
That foundation in education led her into EdTech, where she has spent the past decade at Blackbaud in roles spanning solutions engineering, sales, customer success, and marketing leadership. Today, as Senior Demand Generation Marketing Manager for Blackbaud's K-12 vertical, she brings a rare, full-circle perspective on how schools evaluate, adopt, and sustain the technology and programs that support their missions.
Education has been a lifelong commitment for Elizabeth, and she is passionate about supporting the kind of opportunities and diverse programming that meet the needs of all students, now and in the future. A longtime member of the Charleston community, she volunteers with the Lowcountry Food Bank, American Red Cross, Lowcountry Orphan Relief, and WREN. Outside of work, Elizabeth enjoys spending time with family and pup, cheering on her nephews at their sporting events, staying active in Charleston's fitness community, and reading. She looks forward to supporting the Landshark community and its continued success!
