Kramer is currently the Vice President of Development at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), the oldest performing arts center in the United States. There, he is responsible for raising over $30 million annually in operating, capital, and endowment support for BAM’s wide variety of performing arts, visual arts, cinema, community, and educational initiatives.
