Nonprofit Leadership & Public Health Expert; Former CEO at One Love Foundation; TED Speaker on Relationship Health
Katie Hood Biography
Katie Hood is a nonprofit leader, philanthropist, and public health advocate recognized for her work at the intersection of education and relationship abuse prevention. As former chief executive officer of One Love Foundation, the nation's leading educator of young people on healthy and unhealthy relationships, Hood led the organization for nine years, reaching millions of young people through film-based, peer-to-peer workshops and extensive online campaigns. One Love Foundation was established in honor of University of Virginia student Yeardley Love, who was murdered by her ex-boyfriend. Under Hood's leadership, the organization became a nationally recognized presence in prevention education, reframing relationship abuse as a public health issue requiring broad societal attention.
During her tenure, Hood helped raise more than $50 million to support the organization's mission, educating millions through One Love workshops and online initiatives. She also trained nearly 50,000 individuals to lead workshops in their communities, with thousands of young people participating in youth leadership efforts focused on healthy relationships. By developing the 10 Signs of Healthy and Unhealthy Relationships, Hood provided a core language for discussing relationship health in accessible and consistent terms.
Prior to joining One Love Foundation, Hood served as chief executive officer at the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, where she worked to advance research progress toward a cure for Parkinson's disease. During her time as CEO, the foundation more than doubled its fundraising and grantmaking. Hood previously served as deputy CEO and vice president of research programs, contributing to the foundation's approach to Parkinson's research. Earlier in her career, she held positions at Goldman Sachs and Bain & Company.
Hood's TED Talk, "The Difference between Healthy and Unhealthy Love," delivered while she was CEO of One Love Foundation, has received millions of views. In the talk, Hood discusses the signs of unhealthy relationships and shares strategies for fostering respect and kindness. The talk has been used in classrooms and on campuses across the United States, establishing Hood as a leading voice on relationship health. She has appeared at Fortune's Most Powerful Women Conference and The Nantucket Project, and is frequently quoted as an expert on dating violence and healthy relationships in national media outlets including ABC News and Teen Vogue.
Hood earned a bachelor's degree in public policy from Duke University and an MBA from Harvard Business School. She has served on the advisory board of the National Institutes of Neurological Disease and Stroke at the National Institutes of Health, and as an advisor to the Institute of Medicine at the National Academies in Washington, D.C. Hood works as a consultant to philanthropists, nonprofits, and companies focused on positive social impact.
