Trevor Garner, a technology and financial services executive with over 31 years of experience, is making a profound impact on the Washington, D.C. community. As a C-suite leader at IdeaCrew, Garner and his colleagues took a remarkable step in giving back — purchasing $12 million worth of medical debt and erasing it for more than 12,000 D.C. residents.
For many of those affected, the burden of unresolved medical debt had far-reaching consequences, damaging credit scores and blocking access to essential needs like housing and transportation.
“These are folks that probably cannot resolve this debt on their own, and that creates more problems, including impacting their credit. People can’t buy a car or qualify for housing when their credit is pulled, so we are trying to help remove that burden.”
— Trevor Garner
Driven by the values instilled by his late father, Garner has made community citizenship a cornerstone of his leadership philosophy. His work at IdeaCrew reflects a growing movement of business leaders using their resources to create meaningful, lasting change in the communities they serve.
