Yona Ran

Executive Assistant to CEO and CDO

Development

Yona has a talent for turning chaos into order – and she didn’t just come up with that herself. After hearing it repeatedly from friends and colleagues, she leaned into what comes naturally: strong recall, thoughtful structure, and a knack for making things make sense. Growing up near Boston, Massachusetts, she’s since made her way to San Francisco, where she continues to grow both personally and professionally. Yona’s affinity for working with collaborative, mission-driven teams was inspired by her first office job where she worked with an education-technology startup, and has carried her forward into each new opportunity. When she’s not working, you’ll likely find her out dancing Cuban Salsa and West Coast Swing across San Francisco and the East Bay. She has a soft spot for the city’s Little Free Libraries, which she sees as small but powerful symbols of community and curiosity. Yona brings a warm, organized, and creative energy to every space she’s part of.
