Investigation & Advocacy with Impact

“Eryn is a skilled and dedicated investigator and researcher, and an incredibly powerful advocate. As a policy adviser for our banks and anti-corruption team she played a leading role in many of our campaigns, not least tackling the role of anonymously owned companies in global corruption and money laundering. Her knowledge of the world of investment was also invaluable. Moreover, she is a compelling public speaker and good fun to work with! What more could you ask for?”

— Patrick Alley, Co-Founder at Global Witness

“Eryn stepped into her role as interim director at a pivotal time for the FTC. During a global pandemic, the FTC was in the midst of a leadership and strategic transition with an urgent need to secure future funding. Under Eryn’s leadership the Coalition successfully hired a permanent director, developed and finalized a new multi-year strategic plan, and raised US$2million in under 10 months.”

- Holden Healy, Head of Operations at the Financial Transparency Coalition (FTC)
