Julian Maduro

Senior Associate

Catalyze Investments

Julian is a Senior Associate on the Catalyze team, supporting the Economic Mobility and Unlocked Futures cohorts.

Julian holds a BA in English and Justice Studies. As an undergraduate, she published research on the positive impact of multicultural representation on the opportunity gap between students of color and their white counterparts.

Since then, Julian has dedicated their work to advancing equity, particularly opportunity equity. As a case manager, she served incarcerated men recovering from substance addiction. In this role, as well as in a subsequent position as a project coordinator, she facilitated weekly sessions on job training, financial wellness, and cognitive behavioral therapy while also coordinating large-scale projects to support programming.

Although Julian found fulfillment in direct service roles, she discovered a strong interest in systems-thinking, problem-solving, and project management, which ultimately led her to New Profit. Julian is excited to leverage their passion for expanding access to opportunity and their background in project coordination to support New Profit’s mission and its network of social entrepreneurs.
