Mission-Driven Finance with Barbie Jefferson, CFO at YMCA of Greenville


Listen Later

On this episode of the Leaders of Modern Finance podcast, host Ken Boyd welcomes Barbie Jefferson, CFO at the YMCA of Greenville.

Barbie has been a successful financial leader for many years but her passions go far beyond her professional aspirations. To Barbie, her role as CFO has never been an end in itself but a job that makes space for her to do the things she truly cares about: serving her community and spending time with her family.

Barbie willingly left a publicly-traded company to work for a nonprofit, first a South Carolina state college and then eventually the YMCA of Greenville. This decision was motivated by a desire for a healthier work-life balance, but it also placed Barbie in a position where she could embody her own personal values in a way that advanced the mission of her organization.

Barbie’s vision and that of the YMCA in Greenville were in lockstep, making Barbie an effective agent for fulfilling the goals set forth at the YMCA. The consistency between personal and organizational values not only made Barbie an ideal worker in her role but made the YMCA better equipped to serve its community.
