We are thrilled to announce that Nikki Grizzle has joined the Unbridled team as our new Chief Relationship Officer.
Many of you already know Nikki—because, in many ways, she’s been part of Unbridled from the very beginning.
But to understand why this is such an important addition, you have to understand Nikki’s journey.
Nikki was one of the earliest team members at Blessings in a Backpack, joining at a time when the organization was still building its foundation. Over the next 14 years, she didn’t just grow with the organization—she helped shape it. Rising through the ranks to become Chief Marketing Officer, Nikki played a central role in transforming Blessings into a nationally recognized brand, building partnerships with companies like KFC, Red Robin, and Unilever, and helping amplify a mission that now feeds children across the country every weekend.
At her core, Nikki is a storyteller—but not just with words. She tells stories through partnerships, through campaigns, and through the way she connects people to purpose. Her work has reached audiences through outlets like CNN, People Magazine, and ESPN, but more importantly, it has translated into real impact for the communities she serves.
Now, she brings that same energy, experience, and vision to Unbridled.
As Chief Relationship Officer, Nikki will play a critical leadership role in shaping and executing Unbridled’s strategic plan—building and stewarding relationships with clients, sponsors, nonprofit partners, and community leaders, while helping translate big ideas into meaningful, measurable outcomes.
She will work closely with our leadership team not only to define where we are going, but to ensure we get there.
Tammy has coined a new saying here at Unbridled. You’ve heard “the devil is in the details.”
Tammy says, “God is in the strategy.”
And Nikki? Nikki will be working with both.
She brings the rare ability to operate at 30,000 feet—seeing the vision, the partnerships, the possibilities—while also getting deep into the details that actually make things happen. Strategy and execution. Vision and follow-through.
That combination is exactly what Unbridled needs in this next chapter.
And we couldn’t be more excited to have her on the team.
