In this episode of Capital for Good we speak with Sonal Shah, the CEO of the Texas Tribune, and one of the country’s most talented and truly cross-sector leaders. Shah is a serial social entrepreneur, and intrapreneur, having founded several important institutions including the White House Office of Social Innovation under President Obama, the Asian American Foundation, and Georgetown’s Beeck Center for Social Impact and Innovation. She began her career in international development at the US Department of the Treasury and went on to lead some of the first sustainability and “impact” initiatives at Goldman Sachs and Google. Today, Shah is focused on a new model of nonprofit journalism, given how vital local news, reporting, and information are for community, accountability, and democracy.
