Meet FTSV’s New Board Members

First Tee – Silicon Valley recently added a new Director, Evan Rosenberg and 2 new Ambassadors, Tiffany Tai and Kunal Shalia, to our Board. Evan Rosenberg was attracted to FTSV because he saw the value of his experience with golf as a caddy in Long Island at age 16. It gave him access, molded him and he made connections – all similar to what FTSV does for underserved kids.  He has worked the last 10 years starting as an Intern to now VP, Private Wealth Advisor at Morgan Stanley in Menlo Park. He graduated from the University of Rhode Island for his BA degree and SCU Leavey Business School of Finance for his Masters.  He is married with a newborn living in Los Gatos. Evan wants to give back to the community with a program/sport he is passionate about.  For more info: https://www.linkedin.com/in/evan-rosenberg/ Tiffany Tai recently moved to Redwood City after spending a couple years at Canva in Australia. She recently started a new job as Executive in Residence with Wing Venture Capital in Palo Alto.  She is originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma and graduated from Darmouth College. The last time she lived in San Francisco was 2013 to 2015 working for CloudFlare and DropBox.  She has also spent time in New York after graduating at Deutsche Bank and then again before she left for Australia for almost 4 years at InVision.  Tiffany researched what was in the community and due to her love of sports especially golf she pursued FTSV not only as an Ambassador, but also a Volunteer Coach.
