Greg Maly

I build and run technology teams and platforms for organizations working in the public interest.

I do that for people solving hard problems in government, civil society, academia, and the private sector. The work has been the same across all of them, in conflict analysis, global health, development, and ocean crime: take evidence that is scattered and contested and turn it into something a policymaker, an editor, or a court can rely on. My background runs across policy, diplomacy, and technology.
