Our Team

What we do.

Our Team

We are one of the few minority owned, woman owned and led evaluation firms that combines business and evaluation practices together, to focus upon achieving social outcomes across all sectors from government to nonprofit to education and business.  

We are passionate about bringing different or divergent interests together regardless of sector or function to define and measure collective impact. The integrated, systems based approach to evaluation that we use not only helps individuals across functions to understand holistically how they share common objectives but also helps demonstrate in terms of dollars invested the impact of the collective results that are achieved.

Our team approach to our data framework achieves results because clarity is critical to managing effective organizations that are navigating a complex time.

We are your team.
