Sameer Shirole

President

Sameer has been a Twin Cities resident since 2000, now residing in Shakopee with his wife, Madhavi, and two boys, Vaibhav and Gaurav. He works at General Mills, managing Global IT teams supporting Enterprise Systems.

Sameer grew up in Mumbai, India, in a loving and caring middle-class family. He completed his Bachelor of Engineering from the University of Mumbai and pursued a career in Software engineering. He feels privileged to have had the good fortune of a supportive environment that opened the doors to a fulfilling life. He believes that a strong foundation begins at home, and this conviction extends to the work of our organization. In addition to my professional responsibilities and charitable pursuits, I enjoy reading, traveling, and spending quality time with family and friends.

It is my passion for volunteering and giving back to the community that led me to join the team at Chance Foundation. I understand the challenges that children in underprivileged communities face, especially in the realm of education. I am committed to leveraging my skills and experiences to contribute to the betterment of these children’s lives.

The Chance Foundation aims to create opportunities for underprivileged children, enabling them to break the cycle of poverty and achieve their full potential. Through collaborative efforts and community engagement, we strive to make a lasting impact on the lives of those we serve. Together, we can build a brighter future for the next generation.
