About Ellen Lapointe
I am a seasoned nonprofit executive who has held C-suite and other senior leadership roles in organizations focused on philanthropy; LGBTQIA+/HIV health care, research and advocacy; technology-centered approaches to advancing well-being; law; and intersectional equity and social justice. Here are a few important things to know about me:• People who work with me appreciate my ability to couple candor with kindness, use humor to foster connection and keep it real, ask great questions and listen deeply, and advise without taking over.• I bring deep leadership expertise and lived experience; broad, authentic, and durable relationships and networks; and experience fostering trust and community to guide organizations through transitions and toward transformation. • I am a principles and values-driven, authentic communicator and connector of people – to each other, to a sense of purpose, and to a shared vision for a better future. • I believe everyone needs and deserves to be seen and heard, and that we all have unique and valuable perspective, lived experience, capacity, and knowledge to contribute.• I create conditions for engagement that support rigorous thinking, curiosity, camaraderie and respect.• I help others recognize that there are equity implications to everything we do, all the time.
