As CEO of the Bob Woodruff Foundation, Anne Marie Dougherty’s approach to philanthropy is entrepreneurial, data-driven, and systems-oriented.

Under Anne Marie’s leadership, the foundation is breaking out of the veteran philanthropy silo and embracing the business world. They’re helping partners understand their contributions as an investment in the well-being of veterans and their families, but also American communities and industry.

As a forward-looking systems thinker, Anne Marie convenes diverse stakeholders to understand and solve intractable problems, discover where a difference can be made, and activate networks to boost collective impact. She’s cultivated a data-driven culture that enables funders to invest in evidence-based support for greater impact.
