Current Position and Past Experience
Daniel Greenstein is the Director of Postsecondary Success at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, a positon he’s held since 2012.

This followed three years as UCOP’s Associate Vice Provost of Scholarship Information and University Librarian for the California Digital Library.
