Pilar Finuccio is the Executive Director of CUP. She was born and raised to a big Cuban family in Miami, where her community design practice began at O, Miami designing projects imagined by the people of Miami Dade County.

Her introduction to New York City’s policy landscape began at The Department of Small Business Services and Public Policy Lab. From there, she found a creative and community-driven home in CUP’s collaborative design practice. Before becoming Executive Director, Pilar was a Community Education Program Manager.

Her leadership is guided by a commitment to creating information that empowers communities, holds people with power accountable, and shows us the just and equitable futures that have yet to be created.
