Ellie O’Brien

Ellie has more than twenty years’ experience in accounting and finance in a variety of business and nonprofit settings. Before joining Propel in 2022 she was the Director of Finance at a domestic violence shelter for six years. Working alongside folks who had dedicated their careers to serving others, Ellie found my passion for supporting the nonprofit sector. At Propel she uses her experience and financial tools to support a variety of organizations and their missions.

In her free time Ellie enjoys hiking MN state parks, knitting, reading, and spending time with her spouse, two teenage daughters and their dog.
