Cangioli Che serves as a Board Member and an adviser to Khyentse Foundation, and is actively involved in formulating the Foundation’s strategic plans and direction.

Cangioli started her career in public relations with a nonprofit organization in Hong Kong. In the 1980s she started Management Resources International, one of the first professional event producers in Hong Kong, hosting international conferences and exhibitions in the Asia-Pacific region. She moved to San Francisco in 1988 and served as treasurer of Siddhartha’s Intent Western Door from 1996 to 2001. She was a founding director of Khyentse Foundation, and has served as executive director since the inception of the foundation in 2001, until her retirement in December 2023. Cangioli graduated with honors from the University of Hong Kong with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature.

I became a student of Rinpoche in 1994. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to serve Rinpoche and the Dharma through Khyentse Foundation for over two decades. This is the best thing that has happened to me. I did not get to know the Dharma and Rinpoche until I had some years of work experience and I am appreciative that this experience was helpful in my work for the foundation.
