  • Translate the plan into an operational roadmap with milestones, metrics, owners, and funding requirements.
  • Define and refine milestones, success metrics, funding needs, and critical gaps where no credible executor currently exists.
  • Establish a quarterly system to track progress across the plan and drive accountability against milestones.

  • Experience building new organizations or initiatives.
  • Ability to work effectively with senior government, foundation, and private-sector leaders.
  • Strong relationships across philanthropy, government, academia, and/or industry.
  • Experience in fundraising, funder relations, or large-scale resource mobilization.
  • Comfort operating in a startup-like environment with limited structure and high ambiguity.
