Some professional news: after nearly twelve years at Vox, I'm going to be joining @open_phil, working with @mattsclancy and @jddwor on the Abundance and Growth Fund
I've spent a third of my life at Vox; I'm immensely proud of the work I've done there, and of the Future Perfect team.
I also have long been curious to try work outside of journalism, especially a role like this that seems potentially very high impact.
I'm on parental leave until early December, but excited to get started then. In the meantime, I'm in the market for any/all things to read on innovation policy; history of philanthropy; and/or the politics of growth coalitions, and what makes them work and fall apart.
It feels a bit surreal to be joining Open Phil over a decade after this piece, one of my first big features at Vox and one of the first profiles of the institution.
