Prior to joining EI, Yair worked in the environmental and philanthropic spheres, where he monitored and evaluated grants’ impact on domestic and international environmental projects. Yair developed impact analyses and reported on projects’ success to external audiences through data-driven reports, newsletters, blogs, and social media platforms. Soon before joining EI, Yair completed a certified program in ArcGIS, a software he hopes to use to enhance the way they communicate global challenges and opportunities in the realm of natural resources.
