Our Team

Kenny Clash

Senior Director of Finance and Operations

Year I joined IP: 2024

What I bring to IP: I bring a wealth of experience from leading all operations functions, including finance, human resources, and IT. My career has been defined by a commitment to operational excellence, strategic leadership, and a deep understanding of the intricate balance required to manage complex organizational systems. At Intentional Philanthropy, I focus on creating efficient, streamlined processes that enhance our impact and support our mission.

What I love most about my work: I love the opportunity to influence and refine the operational framework that powers IP’s philanthropic efforts. Working with a team that shares a passion for making a difference is both inspiring and motivating. I appreciate the trust placed in me to drive strategies that not only support our team but also amplify the effectiveness of our client partnerships.

What I am most excited about learning right now: I’m currently focused on expanding my knowledge in financial management within the philanthropic sector and how innovative operational practices can further our mission. I am also keen on exploring new trends in finance, HR, and IT to continuously improve our approach and better support our organization’s goals.

What I do in a typical week: My week typically involves supporting all aspects of finance, HR, and IT operations, ensuring that our organizational practices are aligned with our strategic goals. I work closely with the COO and other team members to drive initiatives that support our mission and maximize our operational efficiency. I also stay informed on the latest trends in finance and operations to continuously enhance our approach.

What I do when I’m not working: I love spending time with my family — my wife, Val, and our three daughters, Cece, Kennedy, and Harmony. Whether we’re enjoying family outings, exploring new activities, or just spending quality time together at home, my family is my greatest source of joy and fulfillment. I’m also an avid runner, finding peace and motivation through the miles I cover each week.
