Background

About Daphne Joseph

I’m a mission-driven professional with 7+ years of cross-sector experience spanning corporate consulting, nonprofit advocacy, legal support, and frontline community care. I bring a unique blend of strategic thinking and compassionate service to every role I take on—whether I’m advising high-net-worth philanthropists or walking alongside migrant families navigating housing insecurity.Grounded in a Master’s in Human Rights Studies from Columbia University and a BA in Sociology from Spelman College, I’ve dedicated my career to advancing immigrant rights, alleviating homelessness, and driving equitable systems change. At McKinsey & Company, I led philanthropic strategy and research for clients managing multibillion-dollar portfolios focused on life sciences, poverty alleviation, education, and workforce development. In my current role, I support a team of case workers in a supervisory role to serve migrant and non-migrant families experiencing homelessness—connecting them with shelter, legal aid, medical care, and permanent housing opportunities across Massachusetts.My experience spans data-driven policy design, stakeholder engagement, case advocacy, and cross-sector collaboration. Fluent in both English and Haitian Creole, I serve to bridge systems and stories to make sure no one is left behind.I’m passionate about the power of philanthropy, public policy, and community and economic development to transform lives—and always open to connecting with others building a more just and inclusive world.
