Stacy Potthoff

Event Producer/Senior Associate Director for Strategy and Operations

Stacy joined the END Fund in 2024 as Event Producer/Senior Associate Director for Strategy and Operations. Her prior work at TED Conferences involved leading partnerships with brands and foundations to develop thought leadership events and content. Through programs like the TED Institute and TEDinArabic, Stacy engaged global organizations to create experiences that celebrated changemakers and fostered communities.

Her MS in International Public Service from DePaul University, with a focus on technology for development, refugee resettlement, and international project management, laid a strong foundation for combining her undergraduate degree in Business with the impact space. An internship at Community Systems Foundation in New Delhi, India, further enriched her experience in the field and led her to a role in New York City in 2011, where she has since resided.

Beyond her professional pursuits, Stacy enjoys exploring the world, striking a balance between exotic destinations and visits to her family in Omaha, Nebraska. An avid reader, she continually expands her “must-read” list and volunteers in her Brooklyn neighborhood community. She also enjoys jigsaw puzzles, especially on rainy days.
