Featured Speaker
We are honored to welcome Richard R. Buery, Jr. ’92 AB, ’97 JD (Yale), CEO of the Robin Hood Foundation. Born and raised in Brooklyn and the son of Panamanian immigrants, Mr. Buery is CEO of Robin Hood, a leading anti-poverty organization that builds, fuels, and advocates for the most impactful organizations and strategies advancing economic opportunity in New York City.
Earlier in his career, Buery served as Deputy Mayor of NYC, where he managed a dozen City agencies and was the architect of Pre-K for All, the City’s commitment to provide free, full-day, high-quality Pre-Kindergarten to every four-year-old. Under his leadership, NYC increased enrollment by 50,000 children in just 18 months. Before Robin Hood, he led Achievement First Charter Schools and managed policy and public affairs for KIPP, the nation’s largest charter school network. Earlier, he cofounded iMentor, which matches high school students with mentors to guide them through college, and served as CEO of the Children’s Aid Society, one of the country’s oldest and largest child welfare agencies, where he founded the Children’s Aid College Prep Charter School. He began his career as a law clerk on the Second Circuit and as an attorney at the Brennan Center.
A life member of the Council of Foreign Relations and a Fellow of Pahara and the British American Project, Buery serves on several nonprofit boards and public commissions and is a Public Service Fellow at NYU Wagner. He has also taught at Yale, Baruch, NYLS, and NYU Tandon. A graduate of Yale Law and Harvard College and a recipient of the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, Buery lives with his wife and sons in Manhattan.
