Tara Roth is the President of the Goldhirsh Foundation, a $60 million, 100% mission-aligned foundation that supports innovation via its financial, human, and social capital. Tara oversees all aspects of the Foundation, including assisting with sourcing and vetting investments that aim to advance human life and well being and catalyze human potential. Earlier this year, the foundation named a new, all-female investment committee—believed to be the first such investment committee at an organization of its size and scope.

Tara started her career at Franklin Templeton, and with a particular lens on marketing and sustainability, has remained purposeful in business and finance as the Founding COO of GOOD, working with New Schools Venture Fund, and serving on myriad boards including the Ad Council and AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles. She received an MBA from Oxford University, where she was awarded a Skoll scholarship in social entrepreneurship. In 2024, the Los Angeles Business Journal named Tara one of the 20 Most Influential Civic Leaders in Los Angeles and one of the Most Influential 500 People.
