Alice Shobe is a global social impact leader who has spent her career helping organizations build what matters—across sectors, at scale. In 2017, she founded Amazon’s community impact function and spent nearly a decade growing it into a team operating across 55 countries, establishing food security, education, disaster relief, volunteerism, and affordable housing as global corporate priorities. Her signature achievement: Amazon’s $3.4 billion Housing Equity Fund, which will finance more than 35,000 affordable apartments.

Before Amazon, Alice served as CEO of multiple U.S.-based nonprofits, partnered with the Gates and Annie E. Casey Foundations, and held roles in local government. She has served on nonprofit and for-profit boards and is known for showing up at inflection points—stabilizing, building, and moving organizations forward with clarity and purpose.

Alice grew up chasing pucks on hockey skates in Michigan. These days, you’ll find her in Seattle on a pickleball court, a yoga mat, or in her kayak.
