Board Members
Finalsite's Board helps to inspire us and shape our vision. Learn more about selected members below.
Angelo Otterbein
Chief Innovation Officer
Angelo Otterbein graduated valedictorian from St. Paul's School in Baltimore MD and from Princeton University. Despite getting his degree in creative writing and English Literature, it generally takes some doing to keep him from programming and breaking websites.
Just after graduating, he started Silverpoint, and grew it to over 300 schools worldwide before merging with Finalsite in 2013.
In his spare time, he has been building a tree fort for the last three years for his 2 children (9 and 6) and expects it to take another three to finish, when his children will have lost interest.
Pat Bassett
Board Member
Forty years working in and for independent schools is sure to leave a mark. Likewise, Pat Bassett’s influence over Finalsite’s strategic vision and direction as a board member is substantial.
His most recent position as President of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) combined with tenures at Woodberry Forest, Stuart Hall and Pomfret School gives us a rare perspective and insight on what our clients think about every day and, more importantly, what we should be working on for tomorrow.
