The $50 million Social Innovation Fund has a new director. According
to an announcement
from the Corporation for National and Community Service, the fund will
now be run by Paul Carttar, cofounder of Bridgespan, an executive
partner at New Profit, Inc, and in general, a seriously thoughtful dude.
I met Paul last year at the Skoll World Forum and was really impressed with the way that Paul had carved out a space at the intersection between doing business and doing good. Even more, he struck me as a person who was also looking to understand the future in the context of past and present trends.
His more formal bio reads like, well...like the Director of the
Social Innovation Fund. In 1999, Paul co-founded the Bridgespan
Group out of Bain & Company consulting and helped grow it into
one of the most respected nonprofit consulting groups in the country. He
has also served as the Chief Operating Officer for the Kauffman
Foundation -- the only foundation focused entirely on promoting and
enabling entrepreneurship. For the last few years, he's been working as a
partner with the innovative venture philanthropy firm New Profit,
Inc.
