Cheryl Pruce
Cheryl Pruce is a Stanford University graduate and Fulbright Scholar with technical training in data collection and analysis, research and evaluation, and applied statistics. Throughout her 16 years in change-making work in education policy research, philanthropy, and strategy consulting, Cheryl has helped build out new work areas, portfolios, and teams for every organization of which she was a part, managing complex projects and teams. She has worked with schools, state education agencies, small businesses, and policy advocacy organizations to help unify internal and external constituents around a new strategic vision and bolster trust and cohesion after a leadership transition, all of which occurs more often in places where social change work happens. While in philanthropy, Cheryl spent years building relationships with change making organizations and developing compelling impact cases for funding. During her career, Cheryl also formed and led a local grassroots dialogue initiative, supporting conversations across difference, and received an executive certificate in facilitation to continue this work in communities trying to face the complex social challenges of our day. Cheryl started her own company using her skills as a data strategist, human-centered facilitator, and community builder to help mission-driven organizations better use their data and people to make forward movement that deepens the impact they are trying to make in the world.
