GRID Impact is a collective of highly experienced independent consultants. Our structure allows independent consultants who specialize in a variety of domains and technical areas to come together as interdisciplinary teams for social change. The brilliance of our collective comes through the unconventional collaborations that we form to devise solutions. We are practiced in building cross-industry teams, combining the knowledge of ethnographers, behavioral designers, service designers, and community experts to strengthen our collective approach.
The consultants who make up our collective have expertise in a variety of technical domains such as behavioral science, training and capacity building, interaction design, strategic facilitation, service design, communications, executive coaching, and social work, and also bring decades of experience in a variety of sectors such as financial inclusion, global public health, agriculture, water and sanitation, education and alternative energy.
From Addis Ababa to San Francisco, our consultants live around the globe and bring their unique perspective and skills to every project. Here are a few members of our multilingual, multi-talented collective.
