Repair The World Welcomes Julia Malaga as Chief Operating Officer

(New York)– Repair the World, an organization that mobilizes Jews and their communities to take action to pursue a just world, welcomes Julia Malaga (she/her) as Chief Operating Officer (COO). Julia’s selection is the result of an extensive and robust search process, supported by the search firm Heidrick & Struggles. 

“Julia will be a key leader on Repair’s executive team, working to strengthen organizational infrastructure and culture in order to help us work effectively with partners and young adults around the country,” said Cindy Greenberg, CEO of Repair the World. “With Julia’s leadership, we will ensure everyone on our team is engaged and has what they need to succeed in their roles through strategic human resources, streamlined and efficient operations, and accurate and timely financials.” 

“From my Girl Scout days, when I pledged to leave places better than I found them through my career in the nonprofit world, and my service with my Jewish Federation, tikkun olam has been a core guiding value for me,” said Malaga. “It is gratifying and humbling to be joining a team of inspiring leaders doing this work on a daily basis.”
