Sally Blount ’83 P12 P14

CEO, Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago

Michael L. Nemmers Professor of Strategy, J.L. Kellogg School of Management

 

Sally Blount is honored to serve as CEO of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago, one of the largest private, human services providers in the Midwest and among the largest nationally. In 2024, Charities served more than 370,000 people -- regardless of their faith, ethnicity, gender, or nationality -- across 20 outreach programs and 100 service sites spanning Chicago, Cook and Lake counties.  

 

Since accepting the call to serve in 2020, Blount has led this $180 million, 108-year-old organization through a five-year, capabilities-building and strategic realignment process. Working together, Blount and the Board have reimagined Charities’ governance, streamlined its structure, and strengthened its operating model – all in service of creating more impact today for the people and communities it serves, while assuring its mission and sustainability for generations to come.

 

Blount is also proud to hold the Michael L. Nemmers Professorship in Strategy at the J. L. Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, where she is a proud 1992 alumna and former dean (2010-2018). An internationally recognized thought leader in management and business education, Blount is a highly rated professor and sought-after speaker on leadership, governance, and organizational transformation.

 

Blount sits on the boards of Abbott Laboratories (ABT-NYSE) and the Joyce Foundation. She previously served on the boards of Ulta Beauty (ULTA-NASDAQ), the Commercial Club of Chicago, the Economic Club of Chicago, and the Finance Council for the Archdiocese of Chicago.

 

Sally is mother to three adult children, including two Princeton tigers. She grew up in New Jersey, moving to Chicago after graduating from Princeton. She loves hiking, leisurely meals with family and friends, and reading -- modern fiction mixed with writings by Catholic and Eastern mystics. 

 

 

In her role as Deputy Vice President, she serves as director of the Alumni Council and also oversees the departments of Advancement Events, Affinity Programs, Alumni Communities, Alumni Council Operations, Alumni Education and Travel, Reunions, and Volunteer Engagement.

Prior to joining Princeton University, Caputo served in several roles at Major League Baseball, including as vice president of human resources for MLB Advanced Media. She has a bachelor’s degree in communications from Saint Mary’s College in Notre Dame, Indiana.
