About Us
Principal Consultant & Founder
I'm Kari Loreti
I'm fascinated by studying change in people, communities and the world. For more than 15 years, I've helped organizations develop the capacity and systems to understand, improve, and demonstrate their impact. I started Evolve to partner with leaders dedicated to the well-being of children, families, and communities. My aim is to transform how the field uses evidence to learn about and influence positive change. I collaborate across disciplines to develop solutions and advocate for the needs of vulnerable populations, particularly those affected by violence, trauma and conflict.
