Background:

Rebecca Gifford Goldberg is a senior partner and Strategic Advising practice leader at Bellwether. Prior to joining Bellwether, Rebecca worked at McKinsey & Company, where she managed engagements with leading global institutions on growth strategy, sales and marketing, and operational efficiency in the health care and education sectors. Earlier in her career, she supported the ongoing operations of a public charter school in Washington, D.C., and worked with parents and students to launch an innovative school model in Maryland. Rebecca directed the Maryland Leadership Workshops’ senior high program for three years, working with students from diverse backgrounds from across the mid-Atlantic on leadership skills development.

Rebecca holds a master’s degree in business administration from Harvard Business School and a bachelor’s degree in public policy from Princeton University’s School of Public and International Affairs. Rebecca serves on the board of directors for the SEED Foundation. The sister, daughter, and granddaughter of public school educators, Rebecca lives in the Washington, D.C., area with her husband and two children.

Why I do this work:

Postsecondary education was the gateway to a better life for my family and my husband’s family (he is a first-generation American). I want to make sure all children — especially Black, Hispanic/Latinx, low-income, and other students who have been historically denied opportunity — have the opportunity to complete a postsecondary degree and achieve their goals.
