About Kelly McLoud Duda

I currently serve as Chief of Staff within a family office, acting as a trusted partner to the Principal and a central connector across legal, financial, and philanthropic advisors. My role focuses on aligning priorities, managing high-trust relationships, and translating vision into coordinated execution across complex and often sensitive initiatives. Much of my work sits at the intersection of people, strategy, and operations—ensuring that advisors, internal teams, and external partners are working in sync and moving toward shared goals. Prior to this, I spent over a decade in nonprofit leadership, and I’ve also served as a trustee and advisory board member, which informs how I think about governance, stewardship, and long-term impact.
