Sterling Partners’ Education Opportunity Fund Welcomes Ofa Stead to Leadership Team
Summary
Stead, who joins EOF from within the Fund’s network, will work alongside the Fund’s investment team to identify entrepreneurs and executives for EOF’s portfolio to build and enhance human capital strategies. “We have known Ofa for years and have a great admiration and respect for her positive impact on organizations,” said Shoshana Vernick, Managing Director of EOF. At EOF, Stead’s focus will be on building stunning workplace cultures across the network through talent attraction and implementing modern human capital strategies. Most recently at Amerigo, which provides an exclusive education model for international students from around the world at American high schools, Stead oversaw the company’s HR and talent needs, entry into new markets, and led the workplace project that won Crain’s coolest office. As a member of the Sterling network the past few years, I have seen firsthand their commitment and aptitude for identifying organizations on the forefront of innovation and globalization within the education and training sectors.
