What Others say about me

Working with Jotham has been very helpful for EDGE Funders Alliance. His guidance and commitment brought together diverse voices to help rethink our governance structure and co-create practical, values-driven recommendations to improve collaboration in our network. Jotham has been a steady, inspiring force throughout this process!

Michael Kourabas, Co-Chair @ EDGE Funders Alliance

As a collaborator, his contribution has always been thoughtful, efficient, informed, and as out of the box as needed.
