Meet Gretchen Anderson, PhD, Senior Search Consultant
Gretchen is currently a Senior Search Consultant at On-Ramps. Prior to joining On-Ramps, Gretchen was a consultant in the New York office of Katzenbach Partners, a strategy and organization consulting firm, where she served as Chair of the Non-Profit Advisory Board. Under her leadership, the Board developed and executed the firm’s strategy for engagement with non-profit organizations. The firm’s non-profit portfolio included the Acumen Fund in New York, YESPrep Public Schools in Houston (in partnership with the Dell Foundation), New York University’s Bobst Library, the Stanford Charter School in East Palo Alto, Bennett College for Women in North Carolina, and Management Leadership for Tomorrow. The Board also established a number of volunteer partnerships with organizations such as KIPP, the Fresh Air Fund, Baruch College Campus High School in New York, and Free Arts in New York.
Originally from Massachusetts, Gretchen graduated from Middlebury College in Vermont and completed a doctorate in American literature at Stanford University. Her studies at Stanford were partly funded by a grant from the Michelle R. Clayman Institute for Research on Women and Gender, and she has remained actively involved with that Institute, leading an independent project to help establish the network of alumni graduates. She volunteers as a mentor for local teens through the New York Women’s Foundation, and for women re-entering the workforce through Bottomless Closet.
