Judy Faulkner is the founder and CEO of Epic, a privately-held healthcare software company based in Wisconsin. Her husband, Gordon Faulkner, is a retired pediatrician who provided free care to children in Wisconsin for more than 15 years. Their life’s work – in business and philanthropy – has been to keep people well, help sick people get better, and create a world where all children can reach their full potential.
The seeds of the Faulkners’ philanthropy were planted in 2012 when Judy and Gordon started a small family foundation called Magic Pebble. In 2015, Judy joined The Giving Pledge, committing 99 percent of her wealth to philanthropy “to help others with roots – food, warmth, shelter, healthcare, education – so they too can have wings.” Out of that commitment, the Roots & Wings Foundation was established in 2019 and launched in 2020 under the leadership of the Faulkners’ daughter, Shana Dall’Osto, who has an extensive background in nonprofits.
