CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 6, 2024 (Newswire.com) - Samaritan’s Feet International is pleased to announce Jim McCafferty as its new Chief Operating Officer.

McCafferty brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise in strategic planning, organization effectiveness, finance, and leadership development and is poised to play a pivotal role in driving operational excellence and strategic growth for the organization. He joins Samaritan’s Feet from AAA (Auto Club Group and Carolinas) where he served as the Chief Operating Officer, and prior to that, served as the Executive Vice President at GuideOne Insurance Company.

Fulfilling the calling of the organization is impossible without their engagement and partnership.”

McCafferty will primarily work with Samaritan’s Feet Founder and CEO, Manny Ohonme, to fulfill the strategic mandate of the organization’s 2.0 vision of a world with zero shoeless people in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible.

Samaritan’s Feet remains steadfast in its commitment to providing shoes and inspiring HOPE (health, opportunity, peace, education) with individuals in need. McCafferty embodies the values and dedication required to lead the organization to new heights. His decision to not walk past our strategic need for a seasoned leader to help take our organization to the next level as a ‘Samaritan Leader’ and forego his salary speaks volumes about his selflessness and commitment to creating positive change in our world,” said Manny Ohonme, Founder, President and CEO of Samaritan's Feet. “His exceptional background in strategic leadership and operational excellence will help Samaritan’s Feet reach its goal of serving 1.1 million people around the world in 2024.”
