A former controller for venture firm Atlas Venture and Bentley College alumna, CFO Kate Merli has a diverse background in financial administration, accounting, and regulatory reporting. Outside of her professional duties, Kate Merli is involved with the New York Junior League (NYJL), one of the leading women-led nonprofit organizations in the country.
The NYJL was founded more than a century ago by college student Mary Harriman, who was inspired to address the poverty she witnessed. Today, more than 2,800 NYJL members work alongside community-based partners to support underserved families and children. Members sit on over 30 committees dedicated to specific focus areas, including education, culture, and employment.
The NYJL Steps to Success committee coordinates with local organizations to increase economic empowerment through job-training workshops. These programs are targeted at several disenfranchised groups, including people facing homelessness and individuals of low-income. In partnership with homeless shelters and family centers, the committee provides job search support and occupational skills training.
