About Jacob L.
I’m a finance leader with 12+ years of experience helping nonprofits and community organizations stay financially strong. For the past four years, I’ve been Controller at Boys & Girls Clubs of Silicon Valley, managing multi-million-dollar grants and building systems that keep the organization transparent, sustainable, and ready to grow. Before that, I spent eight years running finance at Calvary Church Los Gatos.Along the way, I’ve also invested in founders—including an early bet on LifeAid, a health and wellness beverage company—and served on the advisory board for SJ4All in the City of San José’s Office of Racial and Social Equity.What drives me is creating tools and solutions that expand opportunities and make communities more equitable. I want to bring my nonprofit finance experience into building impact at scale.
