Genevieve Silverman
Director of Finance and Operations
After a 25-year career in banking, finance and executive leadership roles, Genevieve joined Appalachian Voices in June 2022 as Director of Finance & Operations. She most recently served as CEO of Nexus Louisiana, a quasi-governmental organization, where for over 14 years she provided coaching, capital and connections to high-potential, technology-focused companies, in addition to designing and launching several inclusive programs to advance high-technology and entrepreneurship in the state of Louisiana.
Born and raised in South Louisiana, Genevieve received a B.A. in history and political science from Louisiana State University, a M.A. in international finance and banking from Columbia University, and a pre-CPA certificate from University of New Orleans.
She was excited to trade Mardi Gras for mountains, moving with her husband Philip and two children to the beautiful Appalachian region to pursue her dream of working full-time to help protect the earth’s environmental assets.
