John LaFleur
Managing Director
John LaFleur is a Managing Director at Strategic Philanthropy Ltd., working with the advisor community as well as clients. John’s career includes serving as the director of a large embedded family office and then as the head of the family’s private foundation for a total of 21 years. His Accounting background from Bentley University and prior experience working with privately held businesses and serving on various non-profit boards has served him well in his client work.
Starting out in a charitably-inclined family office was a genuine boon to my career, which has included supporting or launching non-profit organizations. I have a particular interest in the arts, having helped in the founding of the Edward Gorey House in Boston, and the installation of several high-profile public sculptures such as the Edgar Allan Poe statue in Boston. I love being a catalyst for new non-profit initiatives and have a deep passion for animal welfare. But my greatest pleasure and top priority is raising two active and curious boys with my wife.
