Laura Steinberger

Managing Director

Laura Steinberger is an operations and finance executive dedicated to helping nonprofits navigate periods of change and growth: including transitions in leadership, technology innovation, and geographic expansion. Drawing on experience as a nonprofit executive, a professional investor, and an advisor to small business owners in underserved communities, she develops nimble strategies to foster resilient and sustainable organizations.

At ArtsRock, she applies her practical skills and entrepreneurial creativity to support and promote performances that can foster mutual understanding and build community.

As Chief Operating Officer of the Children's Environmental Literacy Foundation, she guided the organization's pivot from in-person to innovative online programs attuned to the special needs of remote students and sponsors. The organization emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic with a stronger hybrid business model that doubled program reach and increased flexibility. Two decades in the investment management industry honed her research and analytical skills, particularly building flexibility into planning and communicating impact.

A long-time Nyack resident, Laura graduated from Columbia University in New York City with both a Master of Business Administration (Finance) and a Bachelor of Arts (Art History and French). She is fluent in French and conversant in Spanish.
