Kevin Greer
Project Manager, Portfolio Learning
Kevin leads New Profit's portfolio learning initiative, an effort to better understand the barriers to growth facing nonprofit organizations, and to then develop tools and content to help organizations overcome these barriers. In this capacity, Kevin can be found collecting and analyzing data from portfolio organizations, discussing effective management practices with social entrepreneurs, or developing tools, methodologies, and reports to help social entrepreneurs and New Profit Partners do their jobs more effectively. Kevin transitioned to the nonprofit sector after several years as a researcher and consultant to international banks. While he loved the intellectual challenge of his private sector job, he wanted to use his analytical skills to more directly impact people's everyday lives. Several years spent volunteering at an adult ESOL school in Washington, DC opened his eyes to the incredible needs in local communities, the amazing passion and skills of nonprofit leaders and volunteers, and the tremendous challenges these organizations face.
Prior to joining New Profit, Kevin graduated from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst with a dual master's degree in business and public policy. Before graduate school, he worked in the research division of the Corporate Executive Board, a best practices research and consulting firm in Washington, DC. Kevin has an undergraduate degree in political science from Wake Forest University. Kevin lives with his wife, Elizabeth, in Mansfield, Massachusetts. Outside the office you'll probably find him with his nose in a book, watching his beloved Red Sox on TV, playing eighteen holes of golf, or if he's lucky, in a far-off Spanish-speaking country.
