The Board of Directors of ALF Silicon Valley seeks a charismatic and visionary leader to serve as the next CEO — a storyteller, fundraiser, strategist, and evangelist who effortlessly navigates elite public and private sector spaces, identify the abundant opportunities available for ALF Silicon Valley’s growth, and reimagine its approaches while honoring its legacy of welcoming diverse perspectives. The new CEO will lead efforts to identify, unite, and inspire the next generation of executives in ways to create an impactful, diverse, and trusted community.
