Leadership Team

Experience and Heart

Our leadership team is united by an unwavering belief in the limitless potential of the human spirit. 

We’re a passionate group of individuals, committed to helping others become the greater version of themselves. K2 Adventures Foundation is fortunate to rely on the expertise our world-class board of directors brings to the table, including members of Fortune 500 companies, business owners, entrepreneurs and nonprofit leaders.

It’s the diversity of that collective acumen that allows us to do things that other organizations can’t; and elevates K2 Adventures Foundation to realize its own possibilities.
