NEW YORK, Oct. 30, 2025 … JLens, a Registered Investment Advisor affiliated with ADL (the Anti-Defamation League), today announced the appointment of four new members to its Board of Directors, strengthening JLens’s expertise in advancing shareholder advocacy for the Jewish community.
The new members include Michael Lustig, an Adjunct Professor of Finance at New York University Stern School of Business and former Managing Director at BlackRock, and Rachel Schnoll, CEO of Jewish Communal Fund and a former Managing Director at Goldman Sachs, who bring decades of asset and wealth management leadership. They join the JLens board along with current ADL board members Rob Stavis, a partner at Bessemer Venture Partners, and Steven Fineman the Managing Partner of Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein. Additionally, ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt and ADL Board Chair Nicole Mutchnik are joining as ex officio JLens Board members.
“As corporations play an ever-growing role in shaping culture, we’re proud to welcome leaders who will ensure Jewish voices are represented in boardrooms and that companies stand united against antisemitism and hate,” said Ari Hoffnung, Managing Director of JLens and Senior Advisor on Corporate Advocacy at ADL. “Michael, Rachel, Rob, and Steve bring the exact combination of corporate expertise and deep commitment to the Jewish community that we need right now.”
Michael Lustig worked on Wall Street for more than 25 years, including as a Managing Director at BlackRock. As a Board member of the Baron de Hirsch Fund, Jewish Funders Network, and Taub Center for Social Policy Studies, and as an Adjunct Professor of Finance at NYU Stern School of Business, Lustig is a leading voice at the intersection of finance and Jewish philanthropy.
“Jewish values investing represents the next frontier in our community’s advocacy work,” said Lustig. “JLens has built something innovative, and I’m honored to help guide this important work forward.”
JLens has achieved significant proxy season success, including a shareholder proposal at Meta Platforms that received 46.8 percent support from independent shareholders, ranking as the top-performing human rights proposal of the proxy season. The organization also mobilized Jewish communal capital to reduce support for anti-Israel proposals at major corporations including Amazon, where a BDS-related proposal saw support cut by more than half compared to the prior year.
Rachel Schnoll is the CEO of the Jewish Communal Fund (JCF), the largest Jewish donor-advised fund platform in the country. She joined JCF after more than two decades at Goldman Sachs, where she served as a Managing Director. Schnoll brings deep expertise in delivering investment strategies that empower individual investors.
“Joining the Board is an opportunity to help ensure JLens’ investment practices reflect the values we stand for,” said Schnoll. “I’m eager to contribute to meaningful conversations that shape the future of the asset management industry and the Jewish community.”
