Yurie Ann Cho
I am the Director of Operations for the Internet Society Foundation and lead all philanthropy operational functions for the Foundation to be positioned for success. I closely collaborate with other Foundation and Internet Society functions, ensuring effective operational activities to strategically support the Foundation’s evolution. I lead a team delivering programs operations, grants management, budget oversight, project management, technical systems, and stakeholder services. In my role within Philanthropy leadership, I provide strategic planning and execution for the Foundation’s growth and ongoing achievement.
Prior to joining the Internet Society Foundation, I was the Program Operations Manager at the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation where I oversaw the operational budget and sector strength grant portfolio, directed program operations, and implemented cross-functional solutions. I have over a decade of senior management experience in the nonprofit and financial sectors, bringing a diverse skillset from my background in philanthropy, investor relations, and nonprofit management.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Mass Communications from the University of California, Berkeley, and am based in the Bay Area, California.
