Bio
Grace Nicolette
I've had the pleasure of managing Joanna during most of her tenure at CEP. She is an extremely gifted research analyst with a knack at making sense of large data sets and drawing specific helpful action steps for clients to make meaningful change. Her analytical abilities are exceptional. She is also experienced in presenting large amounts of information to senior executives at large foundations in a clear and compelling way, and several foundation leaders have remarked on how they've enjoyed working with her. She has been a thought partner for me and other client relationship managers in our organization.
