They will be honored at an awards ceremony on May 30th, 2024, and will be given the opportunity to interact and connect multiple times throughout the year with their fellow Titans.
“The Titan 100 are changing the way that business is done in Colorado. These preeminent leaders have built a distinguished reputation that is unrivaled and preeminent in their field. We proudly recognize the Titan 100 for their efforts to shape the future of the Colorado business community. Their achievements create a profound impact that makes an extraordinary difference for their employees and clients across the nation.” says Jaime Zawmon, President of Titan CEO.
Melanie Ulle has spent over 24 years serving the social sector through philanthropic development, donor advising, and nonprofit management. She has raised tens of millions of dollars, resulting in a significant impact for a broad range of organizations, and has advised donors to distribute over $20 million in philanthropic donations. She has been featured on The Today Show, the Associated Press, the Denver Post, the Wall Street Journal, Martha Stewart, and dozens of other national and international news outlets.
“Founding and running Philanthropy Expert has been, without doubt, the honor of a lifetime. Imagine every day, you wake up knowing you’re about to make a tangible difference, to light up dark corners, and to lift others up—that’s been my reality. And now, to receive recognition for this work as a Titan 100 honoree is the icing on the cake. It’s a great reminder that when a bunch of scrappy fundraisers come together, there’s no limit to what we can accomplish.”
The annual Titan 100 awards celebration on May 30th, 2024, will be held at Magness Arena in Denver, CO. The home of champions, Magness Arena is a multi-use venue within the Ritchie Center.

We appreciate the lasting impact each leader has made, and continues to make, in building organizations of significance both here in Colorado and abroad. Your ingenuity and creativity have set you apart, and the honor of being seen as an industry Titan is richly deserved,” says Pete Aden, Partner at Wipfli.
