Loeb Leadership's Gordon Loeb Joins Executive Board of Non-Profit Common Denominator, Strengthening Commitment to Developing Future Leaders

NEW YORK, July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Loeb Leadership is proud to announce that Gordon Loeb, Co-Founder and President, has been appointed to the Executive Board of Common Denominator (C/D), a leading nonprofit dedicated to educational equity through math tutoring, financial literacy, and mentorship for underserved middle school students in NYC.

This partnership reflects Loeb Leadership's core mission: to cultivate extraordinary, inclusive leaders who create thriving workplace cultures. By investing in the academic and personal growth of middle school students, especially in under-resourced communities, Gordon Loeb is extending that mission to reach students at an earlier stage of leadership development.

"A big part of Loeb Leadership's mission is to help our clients become great workplaces with extraordinary, inclusive leaders," said Gordon Loeb. "That mission, coupled with my passion for developing our future leaders, led me to C/D. I'm excited to support an organization that's providing young people with the tools and confidence to succeed—and, ultimately, lead."

With a unique background in finance and leadership development, Loeb brings valuable insight and experience to C/D's mission. His involvement is a natural extension of Loeb Leadership's commitment to building leadership pipelines that begin in middle school, long before individuals step into corporate roles.

Common Denominator's holistic approach to math education—built on four key pillars: Basics, Edutainment, Assessment, and Real-Life Examples—helps students not only gain proficiency in math but also develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. These foundational skills are essential in shaping confident, capable future leaders.

"C/D's impact extends beyond math proficiency," said fellow Executive Board member Colleen Stranzi, Partner at Boston Consulting Group. "It builds the learning muscle that unlocks long-term academic and leadership success."

Early access to STEM education and mentorship is crucial for the next generation of changemakers. C/D's new educational app, Cash Clash, developed in partnership with Launch Partners NYC, LLC, gamifies math instruction to increase engagement and accessibility for middle school students.

Kristy Khoury, Director of Value Creation, Warburg Pincus, says, "During my own middle school years, I witnessed firsthand the positive impact that the right mentor at the right time can have on a student's academic performance, confidence, and ultimately opportunities. Common Denominator provides this benefit to its students through individualized math tutoring, targeted at which 'fundamentals' are key areas of growth for each student."

Since 2012, C/D has served thousands of students through its proven, volunteer-led model. Loeb's appointment amplifies a shared vision: developing leaders from an early age by investing in equitable education and personal development.

"I was drawn to Common Denominator by its powerful combination of academic support, personal connection, and long-term impact," says Dr. Fritz Galette, Board Chair of C/D.  "Every dollar raised helps students not only succeed in math, but also build the confidence and skills that carry into every part of life. I invite others to learn more, get involved, and support this vital mission, C/D Math."
