Q: You joined Liberty Mutual Foundation at a defining moment. Why is the new endowment such an important milestone?

A: It’s a privilege to step into this role at such a meaningful moment, as the endowment creates a more permanent foundation for our community investments. It allows us to support nonprofit partners with greater consistency and over longer time horizons, so they can focus less on year‑to‑year funding and more on the people and communities they serve. That kind of stability helps organizations strengthen and grow their impact over time.

Q: How does the endowment connect to Liberty Mutual’s broader purpose?

A: Liberty Mutual exists to help people embrace today and confidently pursue tomorrow, and that starts with helping people feel secure. By creating a sustainable source of support for the Foundation with an endowment, we are using the strength of our business to expand hope, opportunity and resilience in the communities we serve. That long-term mindset is a core part of who we are as a mutual company.

Q: What does this mean for nonprofit partners and communities over time?

A: It creates the opportunity for more sustained, strategic support, which matters because lasting progress often requires more than short-term funding. With greater predictability, the Foundation can deepen partnerships, help scale successful programs and support work in areas such as housing stability, workforce development, education and climate resilience. Long-term investment creates the conditions for meaningful, measurable progress and gives communities the space to dream bigger, shifting from surviving to truly thriving.

Q: As you look ahead, what excites you most about the Foundation’s next chapter?

A: I’m excited about the opportunity to build on a strong legacy with even greater long-term momentum. The endowment allows us to look beyond the immediate horizon — deepening partnerships, scaling what works and helping to build a future where more people can truly embrace today and confidently pursue tomorrow. We have exciting times ahead!
