Acansa Investment Group Managing Director - Strategic Partnerships
Charleston, SC/Washington, DC
I am currently the Treasurer and Chair of the Finance Committee for The College of Charleston Foundation in Charleston, SC. I have also served the CofC Foundation as past Investment Committee Chair as well as a past Secretary. I work with Acansa Investment Group which is a new Women-owned/Led Endowment Investment Management firm founded by Mary Cahill, the former CIO of the $7Bil + Emory University Endowment where I also received my MBA in 2001.
My role with Acansa is developing partnerships with potential clients of the firm as well as focused on supporting our ESG/JDEI and Diverse Managers initiatives including our work with technology partners that help us with data analytics around these focus areas. I serve as an advisor to IEN and am a regular speaker/panelist at The Association of Governing Boards Forum.
