We launched LSI with a belief that we can make a differentiated contribution because we ground our policy advice in the experience of investors and business owners whose energy and capital we seek to harness and because we can generate data-driven, place-based analysis to shine light on relevant challenges and the solutions that can address them. Super excited to have Laura Hohenberger joining the team to focus on accelerating our data analytics work in collaboration with amazing technologists at our Lafayette Square affiliate. Welcome, Laura.
I am thrilled to announce that I am joining Lafayette Square Institute as a Data Analytics and Policy Associate! Lafayette Square is an impact investment platform working locally to create an inclusive American economy. Lafayette Square Institute is its affiliated non-profit, a is a public policy platform that equips policymakers and investors to design capital markets that advance the interests of workers and communities. Together with Antony Bugg-Levine, Joshua Spolsdoff, Jack Moriarty, David Adetokunbo Williams, and Katie Deal I will be working to promote employee ownership and affordable housing, thereby contributing to economic empowerment through asset building. My role will focus on developing place-based analytical tools that provide data-driven insights. I am beyond excited to work on the intersection of data analytics and policy, tackling a topic most dear to me: How can we enable systemic change in our economy that provides everyone with the opportunity to thrive? In light of our world's injustices, I knew early on that I wanted to dedicate my professional life to finding answers to this question. Throughout my career and education, I have explored ways to scale equitable wealth generation and am truly grateful I now get to work at a place that works towards this goal. https://lnkd.in/ePYSVFna
