Jeffrey Reppucci - Executive Director [MA, 2013]
Jeffrey brings 10+ years of experience working across non-profit, for-profit, and government organizations. He brings an eye towards scaling the reach and impact of the Truman Scholar community across sectors.
He has launched multiple succesful (and many unsuccessful!) ventures, including a 501(C)3 non-profit in his home city of Worcester, MA that has gone on to mobilize in excess of $3M and 15,000 volunteers. In the private sector, he previously worked as Head of Strategy at Envoy Global and as a consultant. Through a mix of full-time stints, internships, and academic fellowships, Jeffrey has spent time working with the US Department of Commerce, Department of State, United Way, Save the Children, American Red Cross, Santa Clara County, and the City of Worcester, MA.
A former Div I Ice hockey player, Jeffrey is a Truman and Fulbright Scholar and has been recognized with the NCAA Hockey Humanitarian Award and a Key to the City of Worcester. He holds a BA from the College of the Holy Cross, as well as an MBA & MPP from Stanford University where he was a Knight-Hennessy Scholar. As a freelance writer, he's been published in The New York Times, The Economist 1843, and the San Francisco Chronicle.
He's lived/worked in Worcester, Boston, Chicago, Palo Alto, DC, and Toronto. As such, he and his wife love road tripping to visit Truman Scholars across the US. His favorite National Park is Saguaro in Arizona, while the best place he's ever caught a game is at Fifth Third Field, home of the Toledo Mud Hens!
