Donovan Wilson, COO/Director

This well-rounded director has spent the last two years of his 15-year Verizon career with the Verizon Foundation. Prior to that, he worked in advertising, marketing, public relations, internal communications, and sales. With a master's degree in journalism from the University of Missouri, and a bachelor's from Brandeis University, Donovan is most comfortable when communicating with others. Indeed, his communications expertise and liberal arts background are evident in the overall design and content of the Verizon Foundation Web site. Donovan attributes the success of this Web site to three words: "Innovation, Innovation, Innovation." The native Jamaican is always looking for ways to make the Verizon Foundation's communications channel more informative - but interesting and different. The Verizon Foundation Web site has achieved "Best-In-Class" status among corporate foundation Web sites.
