My good fortune was to make a living while pursuing a mission-driven career. I have worked in varied and challenging environments in philanthropy, for-profit and nonprofit enterprises, and the public sector. I learned that I do my best work in places built on trusting relationships. Places where teams tackle complicated problems with discipline. I carry a passion to help everyone reach their potential, at work and in the world.Most recently, I completed serving as interim President and Chief Executive Officer of Seattle Foundation at the request of the Board of Trustees where I had served for seven years. It was an unexpected and meaningful experience to help keep the foundation stable and to pursue continued organizational transformation in the midst of a leadership transition.As my career winds down, I remain passionate and committed to making this a fairer and better world. A world in which which we embrace our diversity and learn from our differences, and a place where all of our children will thrive.
