The Tiger Foundation was created in 1996 by Marco Romero, Ritsuko Tsurugida and their daughters, Natasha, Tanya and Layla. Recognizing the need to introduce a broader range of experience and expertise, Natasha and Layla Romero stepped aside in order to allow for the addition of independent directors. Their contribution to The Tiger Foundation is ongoing and gratefully acknowledged.

Following is a brief introduction to the current Board of Directors of The Tiger Foundation. Every one of these individuals contributes his or her resources and talent on a volunteer basis.
