Meet
Abe Fallon
Lead Salesforce Architect at Impact Evolution
From the moment you meet Abe, his energy and thoughtfulness stand out. He’s as much a people person as he is a technologist.
He self-describes as nerdy, a hype man, and someone who loves to laugh. He can often be found on the company Slack cracking up our team or on a client call bringing infectious enthusiasm to a project, saying, “You’re going to love this!”
Abe wears several hats here at Impact Evolution (propeller beanies, he jokes), designing effective Salesforce solutions for our nonprofit clients and contributing to internal strategic efforts. He listens intently to client needs, conceives of a roadmap to unify business processes, then builds elegant systems that make their work easier. With a keen ability to anticipate long-term outcomes, he’s always several steps ahead, ensuring smart, sustainable technical decisions. Beyond architecture, he also supports business development, operations, and internal planning, thriving in a dynamic role that lets him flex many skill sets.
From the time he was in graduate school studying Information Technology at Rochester Institute of Technology, Abe has been excited to improve people’s lives through intuitive, user-friendly systems. His background in nonprofit IT, from housing support to higher education, has also given him a great understanding of our clients’ daily experience.
And Abe has seen the power of Salesforce firsthand from the nonprofit side. While working for a supportive housing agency, Abe and his colleagues needed a case management and program management system. One vendor stood out because their system allowed Abe’s agency to make simple updates themselves, rather than waiting for the vendor. That system was based on Salesforce, and Abe has been smitten ever since.
Abe deeply believes in Impact Evolution’s mission to elevate the work of nonprofits through technology. To him, the foundation of a successful project is understanding what motivates the people within a client organization. This insight not only helps him structure solutions that better fit clients’ needs, but also enables him and the rest of our team to offer solutions that nonprofits may not have realized were possible.
In his free time, he enjoys getting outside in nature with his family (including two teenagers) in the Hudson Valley of New York, gardening, and immersing himself in a slower pace of life. He even finds the chore parts, like shoveling snow and cutting up branches, to be a pretty good time.
Abe has displayed a magnet with a quote from Ogden Nash since his college days: “You are only young once, but you stay immature indefinitely.” It is a testament to his irreverent mindset. He thinks we should not be constrained by what adults “should” do or how things have always been done, but can instead freely choose the best paths to have fun and to make things better. That is a philosophy he brings to every nonprofit client and solution he works with.
Abe believes systems aren’t just tools, they are “force multipliers” of impact for social good. We’re so lucky to have Abe on the team!
