Jeff Tkach

Chief Impact Officer, Rodale Institute

As Rodale Institute’s Chief Impact Officer, Jeff Tkach is on a mission to reconnect humans with the earth. He is responsible for growing the Institute’s global influence in healing people and the planet through regenerative organic agriculture. He works like our future depends on it—because it does. 

Jeff rolls up his sleeves to create and execute the Institute’s core strategies, global initiatives, and external affairs that drive positive outcomes for Rodale Institute’s mission. He previously served on the Rodale Institute’s Board of Directors from 2016 to 2017, where he helped to chart the course for the next frontier of the organization.  

A Pennsylvania native, Jeff earned a degree in business marketing from Kutztown University and a postgraduate Authentic Leadership Certificate from Naropa University in Boulder, CO. He is an advocate for bringing regenerative leadership to corporations and organizations in an effort to help people reach their greatest potential. Jeff’s highest purpose, though, is to help people to restore a right relationship with our food system in order to heal our society.
