Vera is pleased to welcome Alethea (Tilly) Josephson as our India Country Director and the newest member of the growing Vera team. Tilly joins Vera from the Salesforce.com Foundation, where she was the Regional Lead for the Asia Pacific region, responsible for bringing salesforce.com’s innovative 1/1/1 philanthropic model to life by leveraging its people, technology and resources to improve communities worldwide. In this role, Tilly worked with partners (including Vera) to enable nonprofits and social enterprises to design and implement powerful data systems, disbursed more than $5M in nonprofit product donations and regional grants, and led the Foundation’s expansion across the Asia Pacific region.

“I couldn’t be more excited about joining the Vera team,” says Tilly. “I was attracted to Vera for its deeply ethical culture and thoughtful approach to helping NGOs and social enterprises operating in complex environments improve program delivery and better measure impact. Vera has an outstanding reputation for understanding clients’ needs and finding the most cost effective, appropriate ways to collect better data. As the new India Country Director I hope to nurture and grow our team of talented consultants and force.com experts and to carry on Vera’s tradition of excellence in providing best-in-class cloud and mobile solutions to more organizations improving lives and communities in India and throughout Asia.”
