CHESTER, PA — Power Home Remodeling has announced the recent appointment of Dr. Anu Gupta as Vice President of Community Impact, a move that aims to highlight the company’s commitment to community engagement. This position is a first for the home remodeling firm.
Dr. Gupta, who joins POWER from McKinsey & Company, will spearhead the company’s community impact strategy. “We are incredibly inspired and excited to have Anu architecting our community impact strategy,” said Asher Raphael, co-CEO of POWER. “We have extremely lofty goals for our employee-led giveback programs, and Anu’s personal and professional experience make her uniquely qualified to take on that challenge.”
At McKinsey, Dr. Gupta led philanthropic giving, environmental sustainability initiatives, and environmental, social, and governance actions (ESG). She was instrumental in creating McKinsey’s inaugural social responsibility and sustainability department, including their flagship philanthropic initiative, McKinsey.org.
