Exciting time at Evidence Action

Pros

Evidence Action made a great call hiring Danielle as CEO. She's brought real clarity to our priorities and strategy at a time when it was needed. Her focus on people is strong and I've appreciated her engagement. We've been navigating the messy middle that is typical for an org at 10-15 years, but our path forward feels clearer now. I'm excited to see where we're heading!

Cons

As we entered a new stage of growth the last two years, it has been bumpy at times. There's still work to do on internal processes and ways of working.
