She joined the CPI team in 2022.
Jane holds a BA in Public and International Affairs from Princeton University and an MPA from the London School of Economics.
Jane is passionate about supporting governments to accelerate climate action through systems change. She has previous experience working on policy research, programme design, and policy advocacy across environmental and climate NGOs and a U.S. state government. She started her career supporting biotech start-ups on communications and raising capital.
Jane deeply believes in the power of relationships and bringing people together. She views relationship-building and collaboration as essential to strengthening governments’ approaches to complex challenges like climate change.
At CPI, Jane has seen how new relationships within government and with external actors can transform how local government operates and better meets residents’ needs.
