In my current role, Mission Control for Earth (MCE) serves as a north star coalescing action around managing our planet better. A philanthropically funded project, MCE seeks to understand how to best support informed, interactive decision-making using Earth system data at local and regional scales and over seasonal time frames.
Typically my work involves conversations between many stakeholders, some of them very senior. Conversations to align on goals; conversations to reframe problems in novel ways that reveal new possibilities for collaboration; and conversations that keep diverse networks of participants focused and coordinated on project outcomes. I also manage budgets and funding arrangements.
