About Kenneth D. Tuchman

Ken Tuchman is an entrepreneur and innovator who approaches philanthropy with the same results-oriented focus that helped him build Denver-based TTEC into one of the world’s largest providers of customer experience solutions. In 1996, Ken and his wife Debra established the Tuchman Family Foundation to maximize the impact of their giving and make measurable progress on their goal of helping people and communities thrive.

By leveraging partnerships, business expertise and on-the-ground resources, the foundation has addressed many areas of need throughout its history, including improving educational outcomes for Denver-area students, accelerating the discovery of drugs to fight Alzheimer’s and providing 200,000 meals for Colorado health care workers during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the foundation focuses on education, breakthrough medical research, environmental sustainability, community well-being and positive social change, the organization is structured to quickly pivot to respond to current issues as the need arises.

To encourage philanthropy among his employees, Ken also oversees the TTEC Foundation which was launched in 2007. Through the corporate foundation, employees help provide access to educational tools and programs in the communities where they live and work.

Ken also serves on the board of directors of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts and the board of trustees for Colorado Succeeds. He is a 2022 honoree in the Denver Business Journal's 2022 Most Admired CEO award program, and is a past winner of the Colorado I Have a Dream Foundation’s Dream Maker Award for his commitment to quality education.
