Brandon: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Parkes Philanthropy is a social impact consulting firm dedicated to improving our world by helping our clients make meaningful and measurable change.

Leveraging over 100+ years of collective experience, our team of top-tier expert consultants equips non-profits, corporations, and individuals with the ideas, resources, and support they need to deepen their impact.
Evelyn: My work relates to legal affairs within the UN itself. I began at the UN World Food Programme in Rome, Italy, and am now at the UN International Organization for Migration in Geneva, Switzerland. Unlike other kinds of lawyers at the UN who work on the particular mandate of their organization and the laws related to program implementation, such as food security or migration, my team works on the laws relating to the staff of UN organizations themselves. A large part of our work is addressing misconduct within the UN to ensure that the organization only employs people who can conform to the high standards of conduct expected of international civil servants. By addressing issues such as harassment in the UN, we help to ensure that the UN stays a safe and inclusive environment to work.
