Following a months-long national search, Philip Gaskin is the newly promoted national vice president of entrepreneurship for the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. For the past four years, Gaskin has served as senior director of entrepreneurship at the Kauffman Foundation, where he championed initiatives supporting the startup, growth, and success of emerging businesses in the Kansas City region and across the country.
In his new position, Gaskin will be responsible for leading the Kauffman Foundation’s comprehensive entrepreneurship portfolio — including grantmaking, operating programs, convening, research, and policy.
