Principal Consultant & Founder
I'm Kari Loreti
I'm fascinated by studying change in people, communities and the world. I started Evolve to provide program evaluation, capacity building and program design for organizations that are looking to align practices and people toward optimal effectiveness. After a decade of supporting community-based organizations, I was compelled to change the way that organizations use evidence to learn and influence change. I collaborate across disciplines to address systemic change and advocate for the needs of vulnerable populations.
