BlueHub Capital CEO Elyse Cherry recently joined Sarah Olivieri on the Inspired Nonprofit Leadership podcast for a wide-ranging conversation on what it takes to lead a mission-driven organization at scale while staying grounded in values, community accountability, and long-term sustainability.
In the episode, Elyse reflects on BlueHub’s 40-year mission to help build healthy communities where low-income people live and work, and how the organization has evolved its approach over time, expanding from neighborhood-based work in Boston to national investments that support affordable housing, health centers, schools, clean energy, foreclosure prevention and community wealth building. She also discusses maintaining organizational independence by cultivating a diversified set of capital partners and why effective leadership is often about asking better questions day after day.
