Jake Segal

Jake Segal is a Managing Director, Public Sector Practice at Social Finance. He oversees the firm’s work to help governments and philanthropies get better outcomes. That work is about bringing together money, data, and unusual partners together around effective delivery, building faster feedback loops, and linking payment to what actually happens.

The public sector practice largely focuses on early childhood, job readiness, health and behavioral health, benefits access, and homelessness. Jake is especially interested in how funding models can overcome deep problems of impact uncertainty. He is aware that he’s a nerd.

Prior to Social Finance, Jake was a Case Team Leader with The Bridgespan Group, a nonprofit consulting firm, where he worked with a variety of nonprofit and philanthropic organizations focusing on healthcare and impact investing. Earlier in his career, he worked at BCG, where he focused on global health investment and planning.

Jake graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College.

I love getting to work with the most dynamic, innovative public leaders in America — to take new approaches to our thorniest problems.
