Andy Black

CBRE

Andy joined the American Cancer Society due to its powerful mission and the tangible impact it has on the lives of those affected by cancer. His journey with ACS began when he partnered with them to raise money for his participation in the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon. Witnessing firsthand the dedication and support ACS provides, Andy felt compelled to get involved locally. With family and friends who have been deeply impacted by cancer, it is fulfilling for him to contribute to the work ACS does and see the positive changes it brings to individuals and communities.

Andy is currently an Associate at CBRE, where he has been spearheading investment sales, underwriting, and leasing initiatives. Focusing specifically on East Bay industrial properties, Andy is actively involved in all aspects of the investment process, from initial deal assessment to execution and post-transaction management. His responsibilities include modeling prospective deals, overseeing lease execution, developing client relationships, and orchestrating successful transactions.

Andy graduated from the University of Southern California and in his free time enjoys following Bay Area sports, playing golf, supporting USC football, participating in triathlons, playing recreational basketball, hiking, and skiing.

Madeline Davenport

Visa

Madeline is a strategy and operations leader at Visa, where she has worked for over seven years spearheading strategic initiatives across government affairs, brand management, business communications and operations.

Madeline’s commitment to the fight against cancer is deeply personal, as many of her family members have been affected by the disease. In 2019, she was nominated the Greater Bay Area “Woman of the Year” by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for raising over $60,000 in honor of her cousin Cory, who bravely battled leukemia.

Motivated by her passion for advocacy and community impact, she became co-chair of ABOA to lead high-impact individuals toward the common goal of ending cancer. Madeline lives in the San Francisco Marina District with her husband and enjoys spending her free time doing Pilates, going for long walks and trying new restaurants in the city, and working on her women’s empowerment podcast.
