Florence Pi is an operations leader and educator who turns ambitious ideas into programs that run well. As Director of Operations at StoryEdge, she manages day-to-day operations and partnerships, facilitates program strategy and development workshops, and leads the launch of new projects and programs.

Over 15 years, she has built the systems behind growing organizations across education, nonprofit, and startup settings: scalable operations, complex multi-stakeholder programs, and experiential learning models. As Chief of Staff at an enterprise data startup, she built operating systems across people, finance, and events, led vendor negotiations and strategic planning, and helped oversee a successful acquisition.

Her roots are in school leadership.

She also directed global and community engagement programs at secondary schools, co-founded an education consultancy, and directed international residential academic programs. She began her career as a secondary science teacher while also designing experiential travel programs and community-based environmental initiatives.
