Pete Lavorini leads the Innovative Schools portfolio, which aims to expand access to tech-enabled, student-centered K-9 learning environments, intentionally designed for all students to thrive. As a former sixth-grade teacher, Pete believes that every child deserves an education that both empowers and connects.
He has experience leading district-level initiatives for both New York City Public Schools and Pittsburgh Public Schools, and helping social impact organizations set and operationalize strategy at The Bridgespan Group. Most recently at OneGoal, a national college access and success nonprofit, he supported strategies to scale impact for the organization.
Pete has a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Notre Dame and an M.B.A. from Vanderbilt University. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife and dog, and is a big fan of snacks—probably too big a fan—and Fort Greene Park.
