“It has been a transformative experience to work alongside Alisha and Carlos for the last 6 years, and I continue to be inspired by their vision and commitment to transforming the social impact landscape,” said Emily Collins-Ellis. “I am grateful to be entrusted with this responsibility, and excited for the opportunity to lead this amazing team into the next phase of our work and to continue bringing my perspective as a queer woman to the field”.
“I would already proudly stake our team, our culture and our collective intelligence in any fight for justice and progress,” Ms Collins-Ellis continued. “What I see next for us is a deepening of our solidarity with one another and our clients, our commitment to people and the planet alongside profit, as well as our ambitions to always exceed expectations. Through initiatives of ours like The Mesa, I’m also excited to move the needle on vital issues where we know we can achieve the most impact, and support others to do the same.”
