Vincent Robinson, Managing Partner

Most recently, he served as Executive Director of Social Venture Partners Bay Area (SVP).

Alyse Aiello, Senior Consultant

With experience in the nonprofit and private sectors, Alyse joined The 360 Group at its inception excited about the opportunity to focus on aspects of social sector organizations that rarely receive their due attention. Throughout her career she has followed a strongly values-oriented path that has incorporated a diverse range of skills and challenges. After spending her undergraduate years at Stanford, Harvard, and the Massachusetts College of Art, earning a self-designed BFA in interrelated media and anthropology in preparation for a career in archaeological documentation, she entered the budding Internet sector and never looked back. She joined Amazon.com in its early days, helping to build the tiny internet startup into the successful virtual business it is today; from there, she went on to serve as program manager for the medical training clinic at Bastyr University in Seattle, the premier naturopathic medical school in the country. This breadth and depth of experience has honed her skills in organizational design, workflow engineering, virtual work, and drawing together disparate resources in support of a common goal. Alyse brings a strong knowledge of organizational development and strategy, technology, and process reengineering to The 360 Group.

In addition, he has worked for diverse organizations such as the National AIDS Fund, Huckleberry Youth Programs, CompuMentor, and the Corporation for National Service. With a solid commitment to excellence in the social sector, Luis arrived from his native Washington, DC to San Francisco in 1995. He considers the Bay Area “the hub of social change” and continues to strive to help organizations create opportunities that positively affect the lives of disenfranchised individuals. He is bilingual and enjoys sharing lively conversation in Spanish. Luis and his partner share their San Francisco home with their rescue dog, Bella.
