Chris Tebben is a strategist and advisor to foundations and non-profit organizations working in the fields of education and child development. Chris leads Sapient Solutions, LLC, a consultancy specializing in strategy, organizational development, and process design and facilitation. Her work is informed by three decades of experience with education and human services policies, systems and programs across the birth to postsecondary continuum. Chris has led strategy development processes as a consultant, an executive director and a board member. She particularly enjoys incorporating principles and practices from the field of Emergent Learning, which helps people across a system think, learn and adapt together in order to overcome complex challenges and achieve social change goals. Prior to founding Sapient Solutions, Chris served as the executive director of Grantmakers for Education, a national network of 300 foundations. She enhanced GFE’s profile and offerings, established new partnership opportunities for foundations with the U.S. Department of Education, and deepened the field’s understanding about philanthropic roles and levers in public policy. Her tenure at GFE provided a unique vantage point for thinking strategically about the roles that foundations play in advancing social impact at local and national levels, which she employs in her consulting. Chris has held leadership positions on a number of boards in the education and child advocacy fields, including chairing the boards of PBLWorks, an international professional development organization, and Children’s Institute, an early childhood advocacy organization. She has a Master’s in Public Policy from U.C. Berkeley with a concentration in education policy and a BA in Economics from Stanford University. She enjoys telemark skiing, hiking, baking and gardening in her free time.
