Peter Kaldes, ESQ.

President & CEO

Peter Kaldes is CEO of Next50, a $300 million foundation working to create a world that values aging. Since 2023, he has transformed the foundation from a traditional grantmaker to an integrated capital deployer, authoring the Aging Investment Framework—a first-of-its-kind methodology for aligning capital with aging outcomes across all asset types. Under his leadership, Next50 targets systemic barriers to economic security in later life, invests in nonprofit resilience as essential infrastructure, and advances narrative change to shift cultural attitudes on aging.

Previously, he led the American Society on Aging and held leadership roles in global philanthropy at JPMorgan Chase and economic policy in the Obama White House. Kaldes speaks frequently on longevity economics, impact investing, and demographic disruption at forums including the World Economic Forum, CES, and Aspen. He holds degrees from Tufts University and the University of Pittsburgh School of Law.
