Guest – Sophie Javers – Global Engagement Manager, Feed the Future MRR Innovation Lab
For nearly a decade, Sophie Javers has been spearheading strategic engagement and partnerships for the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Markets, Risk and Resilience, a USAID-funded economic research consortium. She amplifies the Lab’s findings to improve policy and development programs by elevating evidence-based resilience discourse at the local, national, and international levels. She holds a BA in History from Princeton University and a MA in International Policy Studies from Stanford. She also subscribed to Archaeology Magazine when she was twelve and does regret, just a little bit, not becoming an archaeologist.
