Javier Alberto Soto became our president and CEO in October 2019. Before that, Soto served for 10 years as president and CEO of The Miami Foundation. Since joining The Denver Foundation, Soto has led the development of a new strategic framework, continuing our commitment to racial equity and deepening our policy and advocacy work. He also led the mobilization of significant resources to help the area respond to the COVID-19 crisis.
When Soto first started, he embarked on a bike tour of Metro Denver, cycling through all of Denver’s 78 neighborhoods and its surrounding counties. Along the way, he has met with community leaders to discuss key issues and strengthen connections between the community and the foundation. The bike tour is an ongoing effort that continues to this day.
