On Working At FSG
“When I joined FSG, I was excited at the prospect of working with passionate, intelligent people on tough social challenges. I haven’t been disappointed! Over my tenure here, FSG has grown and evolved. We are digging more deeply into how systems function and can be influenced. We’re more consistently examining racial inequities and other forms of marginalization and harm internally and in our work with clients and partners. And we strive to live into our aspirations as a learning organization by sharing insights across projects and sectors so we can continually get better at our mission of contributing to a better world and future. FSG has enabled me to grow personally and professionally in parallel. I joined FSG in 2009 because I saw a consulting firm that put social impact at the core of what they do. I’m still here because while we may have evolved, that core still holds true.”
