Dorothy has a deep love for Point Reyes – so much so that her son is named after the starting point of her family’s favorite hike, Pierce Point Ranch. She grew up going for weekend hikes on the Great Wall in Beijing, China. As a result, she particularly treasures access to the outdoors for urban youth as a way to breathe deep (clean air) and ground in what matters most. The Youth in Parks programs and educational initiatives are what drew her initially to learn more about PRNSA’s work and impact. When she is not enjoying a picnic on Limantour Beach, Dorothy is a Partner and CFO at Alpine Investors, a middle market private equity firm with a focus on generating strong returns for its investors, being a great place to work, and a force for good in the world. In her role she oversees the financial functions of the firm as well as capital markets, legal, compliance, technology, and firm operations. Prior to Alpine, Dorothy held positions in finance and investing at Apple, Inc. and The Carlyle Group. She has an MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business and a BA from Vassar College.
