Director, Strategic Partnerships
Julie Wang is the Director of Strategic Partnerships with the North America team at Centre for Public Impact.
She joined CPI in 2022.
Julie received a BA in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from the Stern School of Business at NYU.
While at business school, Julie spearheaded the Urban Business Assistance Corporation, an initiative supported by Stern that focused on providing vital advisory services to minority entrepreneurs across New York City’s diverse boroughs.
Through her involvement with the Taproot Foundation, she immersed herself in rebranding efforts for what would become St. Nick’s Alliance, crafting their new identity with a vibrant logo, impactful tagline (“Where Opportunity Grows”), and strategic branding strategy.
As a founding board member of Global Potential, a non-profit committed to empowering underserved youth through education and global leadership skills, Julie played a pivotal role in laying the groundwork for an organisation that continues to shape the lives of young New Yorkers through transformative educational experiences and community engagement.
Julie is particularly passionate about the system-change focus of CPI’s work, because it’s about figuring out how to fix complex problems for good, rather than just putting temporary band-aids on the problem. She loved having the opportunity to understand the diverse perspectives of very different stakeholders across systems, and work to “connect the dots” to design partnership collaborations that can lead to more inclusive programme impact.
In her leisure time, Julie enjoys trying out new cooking recipes, nature hikes that lead to beautiful vistas, immersing herself in the arts, and spending time with her family and dog.
