‘I could not be more excited about this next phase of I.G.’s growth and development,’ said Miranda. ‘It’s a true pleasure to give space to this new generation of leaders, and I cannot think of a better person than Emily to take the lead.’

‘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 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’.
