Elyse is an executive with extensive experience in finance, law, community development and investing in the private, public and non-profit sectors. Her work stands at the intersection of downtown and community — aligning capital with justice, bridging gaps between Wall Street and Main Street, and developing pioneering financial structures to promote equality and economic opportunity for disadvantaged communities.
Under her leadership, BlueHub Capital (formerly Boston Community Capital) has been transformed from a locally-focused non-profit lender into a national model for community investment investing over $1.3 billion in affordable housing units, schools, health care centers, grocery stores, and other vital services.
Elyse is an active civic leader and public speaker. She has served on more than a dozen Boards of Directors or Trustees of for-profit, non-profit and governmental organizations including Eastern Bank, Pilgrim Insurance Company, Zipcar, the Forsyth Institute, and the Institute for Global Leadership.
Elyse is a graduate of Wellesley College and Northeastern University School of Law.
