This interview features San Diego philantrhopist Malin Burnham, Vice Chairman of Cushman & Wakefield. Mr. Burnham is a graduate of Stanford University, and he is a benefactor of local colleges such as UCSD, SDSU, and USD. Beyond his financial interest in higher education, Mr. Burnham believes that more focus needs to be placed on education for younger students (K-12) in order for San Diego to continue to have a bright future.
Mr. Burnham has chaired nine major non-profit organizations and co-founded fourteen. Among these are the USS Midway Museum and Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine. He is recognized as a philanthropist in San Diego, but he is quick to point out that none of his great accomplishments have been done alone. He believes wholeheartedly in teamwork, collaboration and the power of leadership.
