Colleen Calandra

After 25 years in the enterprise, high-tech industry, Colleen joined the Sacramento Children’s Home as Chief Financial Officer because she wanted to give back to her local community more deeply. Her favorite aspects of the job are the people she works with and being part of the Home’s mission. Born in California but raised in New Jersey, Colleen relocated back to CA for college. Her experience includes financial planning, accounting, and global, financial leadership roles with companies such as Deloitte, Dell, and Oracle. Colleen received her Bachelors of Science in Accounting from Santa Clara University. She is a certified public accountant in the state of California. Outside of work, if she’s not a spectator at her children’s sporting events, she spends as much of her free time as possible outdoors, hiking in the mountains, at the lake with her family, and traveling.
