2024 Apogee Honoree: Tiffani Dhooge

Meet Tiffani Dhooge, President and CEO of Children's Harbor, Inc

A nonprofit executive who has served at-risk populations in Broward County for over 25 years, Tiffani has built a reputation as an intuitively driven community builder with tenacious conviction and pit-bull loyalty. Tiffani serves as President and CEO of Children’s Harbor, leading a nationally recognized team focused on empowering teens in foster care to overcome trauma and lead healthy, productive lives. Her journey began 23 years ago as a “transporter,” which provided her with ground-level insight into the true challenges faced by those she serves. As her career progressed, she launched a foster care program for Kids in Distress, which she expanded over the subsequent decade into the region’s largest initiative, earning national recognition with the Congressional Angels in Adoption Award. In 2018, Tiffani took on her current role at Children’s Harbor, guiding the organization through a transformative shift to a community-based system of care with a focus on teenagers. Under her leadership, Children’s Harbor has become a sanctuary for teens in foster care, offering programs in life skills, education, and mental health support, helping them heal and build a path toward becoming self-reliant, resilient adults. Tiffani’s tenure as a nonprofit executive reflects her relentless drive to create meaningful change in the lives of those who have been most marginalized by society.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
