Paul Geduldig

Chief Executive Officer

Leadership Team

Paul has served as the CEO of the JCCSF since May of 2021.  Under his leadership, the JCCSF has emerged and rebuilt from the pandemic, developed a strategic plan, completed major campus renovations, and seen a 30% increase in fundraising.  Paul is a bridge-builder and has forged partnerships with other Jewish organizations and local non-profits while developing trusted relationships with their leaders.   

Before coming to the JCCSF, Paul was the CEO of the Peninsula JCC for 5 years and spent 11 years as the Executive Director of Temple Sinai in Oakland.  In those roles, he oversaw $20M+ worth of capital campaigns and construction projects.  From 1999-2005, he also worked at the Marin JCC overseeing programs for teens, families and camps. Earlier in his career, Paul taught special education and worked summers as an outdoor adventure guide. The unifying theme throughout his career has been the cultivation of welcoming spaces and outstanding work environments where people can learn, gather and grow. 

Paul earned a master’s degree in psychology from the University of Georgia, holds a bachelor’s degree from Washington University in St. Louis, and spent a semester studying abroad in Tel Aviv, Israel.   Paul also serves on the board of directors for JIMENA (Jews Indigenous to the Middle East and North Africa). 

Paul loves travel, enjoys hiking nature trails throughout the Bay Area, listening to music, and spending time with his wife, Laura, and their two sons.
