Cindy Kaplan, MS
Co-Founder & Chair Emeritus, Board of Trustees
A serial entrepreneur with a background in psychology, wellness and marketing, Cindy was inspired to start SPOON after adopting a severely malnourished child.
Under Cindy's leadership, SPOON has developed a proven model for protecting children impacted by institutional care from the debilitating - yet fully preventable - consequences of malnutrition and improper feeding.
Cindy has recently been elected into the prestigious Ashoka fellowship for her systems-changing work with SPOON, and has been appointed as facilitator of the Nutrition Taskforce for the UNICEF-led Global Partnership on Children with Disabilities.
