"Jeff became Interim Executive Director of Youth Speaks in 2021 and I cannot imagine a better leader to have taken on that job.  He was an asset from Day 1, jumping in to help manage staff concerns (given this new period of transition) and offering a wealth of knowledge and experience to fundamental functions like finance, HR, and operations.  He showed up as both assertive and empathetic which enabled him to simultaneously earn credibility while integrating into the culture of the organization.  As acting Board Chair during that time, I could not have been more pleased by what Jeff accomplished during his tenure with Youth Speaks."
