As a strategic leader, José is well-versed in managing complex budgets and portfolios with multiple funding streams, as well as all aspects of corporate budgeting, business development, and cash flow management. Given The Arc’s record of exponential growth and increasingly complex portfolio of funding sources, Jose’s expertise, guidance, and leadership will have a profound impact on The Arc’s operations and future financial strength.
“I am deeply inspired by The Arc’s mission and vision, and it’s an honor to join an organization that aligns so closely with my values. I look forward to making a meaningful impact in the lives of the individuals and communities we serve,” says José.
