Background

About Rochelle Herring

Social innovation designer and advisor with expertise in creating compelling visions, mission statements, and strategic plans for social entrepreneurs and philanthropists. I work with individuals and organizations that want to establish a lasting legacy and make a positive difference in the lives of others. Through exploration, research, and consultation, I help successful, well-established leaders identify and pursue meaningful and life-changing causes. I partner with clients to devise their legacy roadmaps, and then spearhead the process to put strategies in motion. I serve as the link between philanthropy and innovation. Through my work at The Wallace Foundation, I have planned, coordinated, and led key social initiatives for a diverse clientele. During my career, I have worked with prestigious institutions and organizations, including The National Center on Education and the Economy, The New Jersey Performing Arts Center, The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. My current grantees include The American Institute for Research, The National Association of Secondary School Principals, North Carolina State University, Virginia State University as well as diverse school systems nationwide. I hold a Doctor of Education and a Master of Education from Harvard University Graduate School of Education, a Master of Education from Columbia University, and a Master of Arts from New York University. I enjoy applying my training and experience to help accomplished individuals optimize their impact in the world.
