Speakers

Ethan Zatko Director, BDO Nonprofit & Grantmaker Advisory

Ethan is a seasoned leader in the social sector, having spent his early career directing programs and organizations serving young people and their families in New York City and in the San Francisco Bay Area. He brings his advanced experience as a trainer and facilitator to his work with nonprofit, philanthropic and public agencies at BDO, and credits his successes to a strict commitment to inclusive approaches that emphasize validation of disparate experiences and needs, and accountability to shared ones.
