Meet Our Team

Our Staff

Aileen Suzara

Director of Food Justice

Hawai‘i and the Bay Area are brilliant epicenters of food, land, and social transformation. I was drawn to the Foundation’s commitment as a spend down and the possibilities to redistribute resources to communities at the forefront of change.

Ariana Datta

Food Justice Program Manager

I am drawn to Stupski because the Foundation shares my commitment to accelerating the return of resources to historically disinvested, extracted, and underfunded communities.

Cheri Souza

Hawaiʻi Postsecondary Success Program Officer

Now is the time to strengthen Hawaiʻi’s diverse communities by investing in our young people. I am honored to be working in the community I grew up in and am inspired by the Foundation’s commitment to supporting positive changes that will last long into Hawaiʻi’s future.

Claire Callahan

Communications Director

It’s energizing to work in a spend down time frame. I feel motivated to actively listen and act quickly upon the lessons we learn from knowledgeable local leaders in our communities to make real change today.

Constance Haddad

Human Resources Director

What drew me to working with Stupski is the foundation’s direct impact on the community I call home.

Daniel Oviedo

Grantmaking Practice Manager

I draw inspiration from Stupski’s collective vision of a society of solidarity that advances equity in the communities we serve. It is exciting to do this work in service of justice, breaking down barriers, and seeding lasting impact.

Dan Tuttle

Director of Health

Nothing happens without health, and our society has not treated good health as a universal right. I’m hopeful that our work can make meaningful progress in closing the racial disparities in health outcomes for our youngest children and oldest adults.

Devona Williams

Controller

I am honored to be a part of an amazing team that is progressively providing necessary funding directly to the community where I was born and raised.

Glen Galaich Ph.D.

Chief Executive Officer

Our spend down structure has only increased our focus and commitment to learn from our communities, seek sustainable impact, and invest our resources back into our communities to meet the challenges of today.

Gwyneth Tripp

Director of Grantmaking Practice

I was drawn to the Foundation by our commitment to invest deeply in organizations poised to create phenomenal change in the Bay Area.

Jas Victoria Murray

Operations and Board Liaison

Wealth redistribution is important and necessary to create access and opportunity for groups that systems and government have historically excluded in this country.

Jennifer Nguyen

Director of Postsecondary Success

The Bay Area and Hawaiʻi have storied educational institutions that often influence policies and programs beyond their geographic borders. I’m excited to work with Stupski’s institutional partners to advance equity locally and beyond.

La Roux Pendleton

Bay Area Health Program Officer

At Stupski, working within a spend down framework doesn’t equate to speed; it equates to deep intentionality and collaboration.

Lorree Novotny

Director of Accounting and Finance

Working for the Stupski Foundation is inspiring and energizing not only because I am working with an incredibly awesome team but also because I know that I am making a contribution toward improving the lives of others.

Maile Boggeln

Postsecondary Success Program Manager

What drew me to Stupski was a clear commitment to go beyond the status quo and focus on community voice and leadership in decision-making. I am humbled to be a part of that change and to work with young people to be the voice of the future.

Malila Becton-Consuegra

Bay Area Postsecondary Success Program Officer

This pivotal moment in our country’s history makes clear that now is the time to redistribute wealth and prioritize investing in Black, Latinx, and Indigenous communities. I’m excited by the alignment between Stupski’s values of and my own, and I’m inspired by our commitment to spend down to seize this tremendous opportunity.

Matthew Nagato

Deputy Communications Director

With so many challenges in the world, it’s easy to overlook that, as Carl Sagan said, we are capable of greatness. Every day the work of our community partners is a reminder to me of that sacred truth.

Raymi Faria

Health and Food Justice Administrative Coordinator

I am honored and energized to be part of a brilliant team that’s working fiercely in service of our communities with a practice that centers the people and perspectives of those we aim to serve.
