Jane Wales - most powerful woman in gloal philanthropy?

Jane Wales holds four influential positions simultaneously - CEO of the World Affairs Council of Northern California, President of the Global Philanthropy Forum, Executive Director of the Aspen Institute's Nonprofit Sector and Philanthropy Program, and leader of the Clinton Global Initiative's Poverty Alleviation track.

In an interview with Alliance magazine, Wales said that she felt one of the strengths of philanthropy was that it didn't attract power-seekers, "but rather those who want to empower others, giving them the tools and resources they need to be most effective".
