Letter from the CEO.

Hello! I’m Kristy Kade. I’ve always believed the personal is professional. Motivated by my own formative experiences, I built a successful career advocating for women and girls.

I started out on the frontlines in the US, then moved to international organizations. I’ve been everything from a community organizer to a global CEO and know first-hand how misalignment between what you say you stand for, and how you operate, can undermine mission and morale—including your own.  

As a leader of teams, departments, and organizations—both large and small—I aimed to make them better at what they do, by making them better places to work. Throughout my career, it’s the changes I made inside of my workplaces that have had the biggest ripple effects and make me the proudest.

So, I decided to redirect my focus from strengthening communities around the world to doing the same inside of organizations. The work continues to be deeply personal to me. The truth is we spend most of our lives at work. We remake work, we remake people’s worlds—including, once again, our own.

Let’s get to work—together!

~ Kristy
