Leadership
Frank Williams, Trumbull, CT
Frank and his wife, June, worked in the Central Plateau of Haiti for two years as a young couple. Living among the ultra-poor deeply challenged their world views and set them on a journey to serve “the least of these” in the United States and around the world. Frank and his family have lived outside of their home culture for 10+ years.
Frank is currently VP Strategic Partnerships and Legal for global biotech startup company (www.Spades.life). Frank previously served as CFO and then CEO of Bridgeport Rescue Mission (Bridgeport, CT), and also with World Vision International in the United States, Kenya, Haiti, South Africa, and the Democratic Rep. of Congo.
Frank and his family have experienced three government overthrows, evacuations and various life and programmatic disruptions while working with local teams to design and implement child-focused programming at the last mile. Three of Frank’s family were injured (all survived) during the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Frank has also worked in accounting and law in addition to international emergency/development programming. Frank has served on the board of a US law school and currently serves as board chair for an organization with 27,000 volunteers serving children and youth in 27 countries. Frank and June have experienced life’s adventures with their three children: Trevor (married to Yasmina), Dawn (married to Sam) and Pria.
