Sam Alpert

Connector, Parent, Public servant, Student

I have spent my 20-year career in business development, marketing and philanthropy roles, working with start-ups, Fortune 500 companies and nonprofits. Currently, I am the Chief Development Officer for Junior Achievement of Arizona, a nonprofit that provides career and financial literacy education to 80,000 K-12 students annually. Before entering nonprofit, I owned an advertising and public relations agency. I have an Executive MBA and a Bachelor’s in Journalism from Arizona State University. And, I am the proud father of two little girls! I am attending the TED Summit through my Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust Fellowship.

Helping people, giving kids hope, tennis, different cultures and people.

This is my first TED conference. I am here as part of my fellowship.

Tennis, gardening.
