Since becoming ICAN's CFO, Lambe has overseen impressive organizational growth, with revenue expanding from $8 million to over $30 million and assets increasing from $3 million to over $27 million. His leadership contributed to ICAN’s acquisition of the Utica Children's Museum and Elevate CNY.

Lambe’s leadership is guided by a vision of fostering collaboration and community-driven initiatives, aiming for sustainable, meaningful change. His focus is on creating long-term impact for families in the Mohawk Valley and beyond, using his experience and tools to improve as many lives as possible.
