| Alexander Gudich, Associate |
Alexander Gudich was born in Khmelnitsky, Ukraine but grew up in San Francisco where he
worked in the real estate, hospitality, and financial services industries before leaving to
attend college in Fairfax, Virginia. It was at George Mason University where Alex developed a
passion for the nonprofit sector and over the last two years he led Mason ChangeMakers, a
student organization catalyzed by Ashoka’s Changemaker Campus Initiative. Alex
passionately worked to embed social innovation and civic engagement into the fabric of his
University, creating greater opportunities for students and faculty to connect their skills,
talents, and knowledge to community needs. After strategically partnering with the Center for
Consciousness and Transformation, Mason ChangeMakers was able to secure operational
funding and is now working to finalize arrangements for a Center for Social Entrepreneurship.
While studying at George Mason, Alex also had the opportunity to work with Fairfax County’s
Office of Public-Private Partnerships (OP3) as a member of the “Fairfax Cares” Advisory Board.
His involvement on the Board included making recommendations to Fairfax County’s Health
and Human Services Council on social entrepreneurship, moving the conversation from
improving the local funding environment to building capacity and improving the impact of
Fairfax’s nonprofits, and assisting with the development of a cross-sector alliance between
CSC (where he was an intern in the Corporate Responsibility department) and OP3. Alex has
also worked and volunteered with a wide variety of community-based organizations in
addition to being among a team of founding entrepreneurs for “The HUB” in Washington, DC.
Alex graduated Summa cum Laude from George Mason University with a degree in Integrative
Studies and minors in Business, Nonprofit Management, and Conflict Analysis and Resolution.
Alex is now conducting introductory research for an initiative to spur cross-sector collaboration
targeted at improving the impact of local, community-based organizations in the San Francisco
Bay Area. At Olive Grove Consulting he is utilizing his entrepreneurial passion and knowledge
of the nonprofit sector to assist with internal, operational needs at Olive Grove and with
consulting services to a variety of client projects.
