Deb Parsons

San Francisco, California, United States

I am an experienced senior level leader working to create a positive impact in the world. I use the power of good business practices and models, be it a for-profit or non-profit, to create outcomes that will positively benefit people and the planet.

I have a specific interest in creating opportunities to provide access to those who have been disenfrancished from our current market system. Access to opportunities, capital, political voice - my interest is far reaching. To that end I am involved with initiatives like gender lens investing movement, mentor capital to entrepreuners, women & politics.

Over the years I have gained experience across many roles in operations, strategy, fundraising and building strong communities. I am what you would call a "hybrid" professional moving easily between traditional for profit sector and industries and non-profit philanthropy sector.

Organizations that I have been affliated with over the years:

Bain & Company, The North Face, Intuit, Good Capital, SJF Ventures, Investors Circle, William James Foundation, Social Venture Network, Net Impact, Nia Community Fund, Evergreen Lodge, Portfolia, East Meets West, WomanCare Global, Emerge California, Launcht, Hitachi Foundation, Criterion Institute and many independent investors.
