Join my colleague Dr. @MorganARichards next week to learn about the mind-bending effects of tax progressivity. She will be presenting her recent research at Comparative Economic Inequality Conference. More on @GInsight_org's Poverty & Inequality research:

I have no words. The effects of this will ripple across the entire economy, our relationships across the world, and decades of reputational damage to the US.

Among so many ramifications, just a few of the harms these #USAID stop orders are having:

The rumors are true! I will be representing @GInsight_org's innovative approach to impact metrics at #SOCAP24. If you are eager to bring greater rigor and storytelling to measuring impact of your fund, portfolio, family office, or even a single investment, let's grab a coffee.

Thank you @theGIIN for a fantastic event. It was a pleasure connecting with colleagues from @GoldmanSachs, @mercycorps Ventures, @TripleJumpNL, @IIXglobal and many more! Get in touch if you want to talk impact analytics and research -- I love a good creative brainstorm!

Today, that market has more than doubled, propelling innovation through the infusion of creative, purpose-driven capital.

10 years ago I found myself at @CarterCenter for a gathering of those keen to grow what was then a nascent impact investing market. Then it was off to a @CriterionInst gender lens investing workshop hosted by the insightful @JackiZehner. Oh how things have change.

With the global impact investing market now exceeding $1.5 trillion and 3,900+ organizations, the demand for nuanced reporting, scientific rigor, and in-depth research has never been greater. It is crucial that we can map true causality and additionality.

Reflecting on 2 days at #GIINForum2024, I am filled with renewed energy for our work at @GInsight_org 's Impact Lab. The forum reinforced a vital truth: robust impact metrics, measurement, and reporting are essential for growth, scale + sustained impact. https://t.co/2c4oububs1

#GIINForum2024 is officially underway! Thrilled to be here representing the @GInsight_org team with fellow impact-driven investors, analysts, and data enthusiasts. If you are attending and share a passion for impact, let’s connect!

Every once of sanity and care has gone into this work. So pleased to see this important research take shape! Learn more about our work at

Returning from 2 wks with armed groups in PNW to jump right into discussing humanitarian-development-peace nexus with @devex. From the wise words of @edwardrcarr over coffee, when you like what you're doing (read: gives you purpose), more temporal wishes become less meaningful.

Voluntary return, even when desired by all parties, is not always an option. Displacement in fragile settings is a development and peacebuilding issues. Not one, both. This is not just about philanthropy, but public-private partnerships. #DevexEvent #ClimateWeekNYC

Looking for a Spanish-English interpreter for small one-off remote tasks. Please DM me if you know someone or are someone that this might fit. Must be fluent in both English and Spanish.

To unpick environmental + social change, we must adhere to rigorous scientific and ethical standards, regardless of method. Could go on endlessly about rigor + methods + ethics. Interested in more about my work or partnership with my team at @GInsight_org:

Confusion seems most commonly exploited by less than honest actors at the site of causation -- Does X truly cause Y, or could it be Z? Just last night I found myself in the position of delicately highlighting to this very point.

2 wks in small town Idaho in religious revivals and backroom interviews exploring "freedom" and "rights" have reminded me of the sticky nature of this research. Many feel a sense of blurriness and confusion at the distinction between opinion and scientific finding. Image: Idaho
