Ethan Silverman Email & Phone Number

Ethan Silverman is a Associate, Social Enterprise and Impact Investing at Morrison Foerster. He possess expertise in public speaking, leadership, editing, training, teaching and 10 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "In many many types of work, a sharp mind with a consistent slow-burning motivation is 10x more dangerous than a long time domain expert, and Ethan is the living illustration of this idea. I liked to call him our "resident stem-cell" in that he can be applied to almost any element within a project, and quickly learn, adapt, and contribute to make that element stronger. At Stroll he came in to help with one specific type of work, but by the end (and only because he had to depart for law school) he had assumed leadership roles across so much more of the organization. He has the rare ability to tow the line between promoting team camaraderie as well as an air of accountability. Ethan is in the top 1% of direct reports I've ever had, and I can think of little application where his discipline and drive will not dazzle you." and "Ethan is a total champ. Rarely does someone have the combination of discipline, smarts, and desire for excellence that Ethan puts forth, and almost never is that paired with the humor and humbleness that makes Ethan such a pleasure to work with. I had the good fortune of managing Ethan for his gap year before law school, and I saw him grow into a role managing software product development, health care compliance, hiring and summer internship management, and more. At every opportunity, Ethan asked what more he could do, asked the right questions, took responsibility, and excelled. An example: days before a 6 figure government grant was due, Ethan took the initiative to take the opportunity to the finish line, coordinating technical writers, subject matter experts, and understanding compliance requirements to take it successfully to completion. I hope to have the chance to work with Ethan again, and if you do, take it."
