About
Claire Kittle Dixon co-founded Talent Market in 2014 with Whitney L. Ball to address talent recruitment needs in conservative policy organizations, think tanks, and advocacy groups promoting free-market principles and limited government. As Executive Director of Talent Market, an LLC operating under the auspices of DonorsTrust—a donor-advised fund supporting right-leaning causes—she has overseen the placement of over 500 professionals in influential roles across the conservative movement, leveraging her expertise in executive search and philanthropic networks. Prior to founding Talent Market, Dixon served as a program officer at the Charles G.

She earned a B.A. in English from the University of Virginia and is recognized in Washington, D.C.-area philanthropy circles for bridging donors with mission-driven talent while contributing to efforts that strengthen institutional capacity in policy advocacy.
