Jeanne Murray is a moss+ross partner with expertise in strategic planning, fundraising campaign messaging, case statements, impact reports, and communications and marketing plans. She joined moss+ross in 2013 after a career in software development and marketing with IBM in Research Triangle Park, N.C, where her focus was on technology development, marketing, and global client engagement.

Jeanne works with clients to shape strategies and communications that inspire support for their missions. All forms of storytelling, whether through marketing collateral, strategic plans, board messaging, or volunteer training, must work in concert to inspire action from donors and supporters in the community. Jeanne values collaborative processes that engage input from a variety of audiences to synthesize multiple points of view.

Jeanne is a long-time volunteer in her Durham community and was awarded the Triangle Nonprofit & Volunteer Leadership Center’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2025. She has a certificate in Nonprofit Management from Duke University, a Master of Education in Instructional Design from UNC-Chapel Hill, and an undergraduate degree from the University of Delaware.

Jeanne and her husband Brian Murray, who directs the energy, environment and sustainability institute at Duke University, enjoy spending time with their adult children and traveling with family.

Fun fact: Jeanne is part of a very large family and is a distance runner, both of which hone qualities of optimism and endurance.
