“I’m thrilled to join The Rockefeller Foundation and to partner with a bright, dynamic team focused on creating jobs and economic opportunity, especially for those feeling shut out of the changing U.S. economy,” said Ms. Wright via the statement. “We will work together to expand the Foundation’s important work, forge new partnerships, and create greater access to opportunity and equity in the workplace for millions of people living and working in the United States.”
