Shah currently serves as chief executive officer of Ziff Davis, a New York-based digital media and internet company. With a career spanning leadership roles at Time Inc, the Fortune/Money Group—he brings decades of experience in digital innovation and strategic growth in media.
Additionally, Shah serves on the board of directors of StreetSquash, and LiveOnNY, and is a member of the Tufts University board of trustees, where he graduated from with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science.
Alongside Shah, four new members have joined the foundation board: Robin Sparkman, Sarah Alvarez, Marjorie D.
