Evan Low, CEO of the LGBTQ+ Victory Fund, Named Chief Influencer

The Communications Board names Evan Low, President and CEO of the LGBTQ+ Victory Fund, a Chief Influencer.

What does it mean to lead with authenticity in a time of division? In this episode of Chief Influencer, Evan Low shares how representation and resilience have guided his journey—from a young city council member endorsed by the Victory Fund to now leading the very organization that helped launch his career.

Evan reflects on the lessons he has learned while advancing marriage equality, navigating partisan divides, and mentoring the next generation of leaders. For him, influence starts with visibility. When people can see themselves reflected in positions of power, it opens doors to belonging and participation. He explains how authentic leadership builds trust, and how shared values can move even the most difficult conversations forward.

In a moment when democracy feels increasingly fragile, Evan remains optimistic. He believes today’s challenges have inspired a powerful new wave of leadership grounded in service, empathy, and inclusion. His message is clear: real progress comes when every voice is seen, heard, and empowered to lead.
