Executive Team / Board of Directors
Jeffrey W.J. Wilush
President and CEO
Jeff Wilush came to Horizon House with a finely honed set of business skills. Once here, he quickly discovered a strong commitment to ensuring that all people—especially the disadvantaged—receive the respect and opportunities they deserve. Jeff’s financial expertise developed during his early career as a Certified Public Accountant with Ernst & Whinney and as Chief Operating and Financial Officer of a hotel/casino complex on St. Maarten. When asked what brought him to the nonprofit world, he replies simply, “It started by luck, but I quickly realized this is where I belong.”
After joining Horizon House in 1990 as a financial consultant, Jeff greatly contributed to the agency’s ability to weather financial difficulties in the early 1990s, and he quickly advanced to the position of Chief Fiscal Officer. While increasing his skills and responsibilities, Jeff saw what a difference an agency like Horizon House can make in people’s lives. After being named Chief Executive Officer in 2000, he became even more determined to help guide the agency’s mission, and his tireless efforts have helped many people with disabilities reach their highest potential for independent living.
