“I had the immense joy of working with Francesca at the Greater Washington Partnership as she operationalized a critical – but undefined – mandate from our Board to build an inclusive growth body of work. Over the course of her time at the Partnership, Francesca crafted a compelling vision, secured the buy-in and support of CEOs of the largest employers in the region, and cultivated a high-functioning, committed team. The results of the work speak for themselves: a $4.7 billion commitment from the Partnership’s employer partners to support inclusive growth work in the region, a holistic blueprint that charts a path forward to reduce the racial wealth gap, and procurement leader community of practice focused on diversifying Fortune 500 supply chains. But, I think what’s most important about Francesca is that in the midst of all this work she takes the time to mentor, coach, and act as an empathetic and strategic sounding board for staff both on her team and outside it. I could not recommend Francesca more as a leader and a colleague.”
