Here's how to get there.

Kenya's career reflects a fierce belief in the power of philanthropy and an unflinching commitment to excellence. By focusing on culture, innovation and on amplifying the best in leaders and organizations, Kenya has successfully navigated in both very independent and deeply matrixed organizations. She's aligned donors, staff, leaders, boards, physicians and faculty to exceed incredible goals. ​With the operational credibility to turn any challenge into fundraising momentum, Kenya founded KB2N Strategies to support new levels of philanthropy success. KB2N Strategies is lean by design, delivering both quick wins and lasting results. Every engagement is personally led by Kenya, so clients have a partner who's faced the same level of competing priorities, doing more with less, and innovating through necessity. ​Most recently, Kenya served as Senior Vice President at Providence St. Joseph Health, leading 14 fundraising foundations, a shared support team, community health, and health equity efforts throughout California. Under her leadership, the team raised approximately $1 billion, grew gifts of $1 million or more by 104 percent, and launched meaningful partnerships to meet important community benefit and health equity goals. ​Before Providence, Kenya spent thirteen years at Hoag Hospital Foundation, where she led the development team and the Hoag Promise campaign, a $627 million comprehensive campaign that hit its goal eighteen months ahead of schedule. She also held leadership roles at UC Irvine and the University of Michigan, where she learned the discipline, rigor, and transparency that define her work. From Oklahoma City, Kenya earned her bachelor's degree from Cornell University, conducted research at Stanford University, and received her master's degree from the University of Michigan. She currently serves on the boards of Amazing Grace Conservatory, the APGA Tour, and the Advocates Professional Golf Association Foundation.
