Cari Tuna Biography

Tuna has a pretty thin resume for someone now charged with giving away a boatload — no, a supertanker — of money. But, then, let me say something equally obvious: It's people Cari Tuna's age who are revolutionizing how human beings connect with each other through things like, well, Facebook.

If new thinking and new strategies is what the world really needs to solve its problems, than maybe part of the answer is to give huge checkbooks to the likes of Tuna — young leaders who specifically have not come up through the ranks at places like Pew or Ford.

Whatever the case, so far it appears that Tuna is moving conventionally and cautiously at Good Ventures. She's clearly someone who takes her new responsibility seriously and knows how to do her homework (as you might expect from someone who got into Yale.) She's plowed through big picture books on global poverty like Peter Singer's The Life You Can Save. And she's grappling with questions about measuring the impact of philanthropic giving.

As part of Tuna's immersion in philanthropy she came across GiveWell, an organization that evaluates charities and encourages donors to give money to the best ones. Tuna was so "struck by the rigor of GiveWell’s research," and so impressed by its founders, that she joined its board of directors in April 2011.
