“Working with Mattison Advisors has been a complete game-changer for our organization. Christina’s strategic thinking is on par with few leaders I’ve observed in the social impact sector, as she can simultaneously consider the micro and macro implications in any given scenario and communicate them effectively to drive effective decision-making. The final product her team produced included a comprehensive landscape analysis informed by extensive stakeholder engagement and research, as well as our organization’s strategic plan to guide our operations for years to come. She is a masterful communicator and approaches her work with a deep understanding of the people and communities it will impact.”
