MEET THE BOARD! 👋
Say hello to Jimmy Gross — Co-Founder & Managing Partner of Desta Therapy and Desta Provisions!
With over 20 years of leadership in senior care, public health, and behavioral health, Jimmy, along with his wife, Rachel, and their four children, has dedicated his life to serving vulnerable communities. 🌍
He spent over a decade working in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and Amman, Jordan, where he helped reunite victims of human trafficking with their families and supported Syrian refugees. 🕊️ His life’s work reflects a deep commitment to compassion, justice, and lasting impact.
When Jimmy isn’t hard at work at Desta, you can probably find him checking out his favorite Arab and Ethiopian markets in San Antonio, cooking up various cuisines he’s learned to make from his travels, tending to the family chickens, gardening, and spending time with Rachel and his kids.
We’re lucky to have his wisdom and vision on our board! 🙌
