Emerging Leader Spotlight: 2022 ELI Alumni Antonio Campello, Senior Data Scientist at Digital Science, emphasizes how the program better prepares participants for career transitions. “I was fortunate to have a mentor with extensive experience in financing social impact, which aligned perfectly with my interests. Our discussions covered assessing social programs, navigating work dynamics, and planning for long-term career satisfaction,” says Antonio. “My mentor's guidance was invaluable, especially as I transitioned into a new role in the #philanthropytech space.” “Additionally, the ELI program expanded my network within the #philanthropytech sector and allowed me to confidently organize panels on data science and social impact, leading to new leadership opportunities.” Since 2016, rising stars in philanthropy have participated in the Emerging Leaders Initiative as a way to build their network and grow their professional capacity.
