Max Klijnstra is the Chief Growth Officer at Giving What We Can, an effective altruism organization focused on maximizing charitable pledging. Prior to his current nonprofit role, he served as the co-founder and co-CEO of Otrium, a fashion technology company designed to address excess industry inventory by connecting brands directly with consumers. At Giving What We Can, he leads strategic initiatives to expand the organization's global impact and grow its community of members who formally commit to donating 10% of their lifetime income. Klijnstra personally adopted this financial standard in 2016, aligning his philanthropic efforts with the broader effective altruism movement popularized by prominent figures like William MacAskill and Tim Ferriss. His professional trajectory reflects a distinct transition from scaling venture-backed consumer technology platforms to driving measurable growth strategies within the high-impact charitable sector.
