Committed to proving the business case for social impact, Olivia Khalili brings 15 years of experience as a practitioner and thought leader in global social impact. She joined PagerDuty to define and launch the company’s social impact strategy and Pledge 1% commitment.
Before joining PagerDuty, Olivia built Yahoo’s global corporate responsibility program, Yahoo for Good, to mobilize the company’s technology and employee talent to positively benefit society. Prior to Yahoo, she worked with Ashoka, creating innovative social impact programs that supported social entrepreneurs and enhanced brand equity for a portfolio of companies that included American Express and Ben & Jerry’s. In 2008, Olivia launched CauseCapitalism.com, an online resource to help businesses grow by embedding social purpose. Her approach stems from cross-sector experience working with the public sector, tech companies and nonprofits, and in international development in Micronesia.

Danielle Conkling is the director of corporate social responsibility and ESG (environmental, social and governance) and serves as the ESG program office lead for Silicon Valley Bank. Her unique role at SVB combines her passion for giving back to the community with her extensive experience in advising entrepreneurs and leaders in the innovation economy.
Based in Menlo Park, California, her leadership of program office ESG efforts advances the sustainability and ethical impact of the company’s investments and operations.

Before her current position, Danielle focused on the financial needs of high potential growth clients, including founders, executives and investors.

Danielle holds a master’s degree in business administration from the Jones Graduate School of Business at Rice University and a bachelor’s degree in finance and international business from Georgetown University. Giving back both on and off the job, Danielle is a regional board advisory member of BUILD, which provides entrepreneurial experience to young people in under resourced communities, and of Girls Leadership, a nonprofit organization whose workshops and training programs equip young girls to develop the power of their voice.
Outside of the office, Danielle enjoys skiing, hiking and whitewater rafting. An avid traveler, she prefers off-the-beaten-path destinations — her travels have taken her to Japan, Iceland and Morocco.
