Silicon Valley Community Foundation Appoints New Vice President of Finance/Controller
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Silicon Valley Community Foundation, a $1.9 billion grantmaking organization that is the leading voice for innovative solutions to community challenges, announces the appointment of John Stuckey as vice president of finance/controller. Stuckey will be responsible for oversight and accuracy of the community foundation’s daily financial transactions and for financial reporting.
“John’s project management and technical skills, along with his financial expertise will be an invaluable asset to the finance team as well as to the community foundation as a whole,” said Emmett D. Carson, CEO and president of the community foundation.
Prior to joining the community foundation, Stuckey served as senior director of finance and administration for The Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose. While there, Stuckey successfully integrated a new CRM system with the accounting process. Previously, he served as chief financial officer of Montalvo Arts Center where he implemented a comprehensive accounting policy manual and restructured the human resources department.
Stuckey’s work in the nonprofit sector began at the Mexican Heritage Corp. where he served as controller and director of operations. His responsibilities included managing and restructuring of the human resources, facilities and rental departments, and implementing strategies and tactical plans to address the organization’s financial challenges.
Before his work in nonprofit, Stuckey spent more than 25 years in corporate finance and technical service management positions with Xerox Corp. During his time at Xerox, John established customer service systems and oversaw the management of $400 million in service revenue with an annual operating budget of $112 million.
“I am extremely pleased to welcome John to our team,” said Vera Bennett, chief financial officer of the community foundation. “While the current economic conditions present both challenges and opportunities, I am confident in John’s ability to oversee the community foundation's $1.9 billion in assets.”
