“Rarely have I come across someone as talented and effective as Amanda. No one knows better how to leverage the power of advocacy. I had the honour of partnering with Amanda to influence the 2018 G7 development agenda, which resulted in $3.8 billion committed to Girls’ Education – the largest single commitment in history.”
