Christina has more than 20 years of experience recruiting and placing mission-driven leaders, leading searches for professionals serving in a range of executive leadership roles in education, youth development, and other social impact organizations. Her work with Resources for Indispensable Schools and Educators (RISE) and New Leaders led her to launch Redwood Circle Consulting in 2010, where she provided executive search and talent management strategy services to education nonprofits, school organizations, and social venture companies. In 2016, Redwood Circle merged with another practice to create Edgility. At Edgility Search, Christina's focus is leading client engagements, managing and coaching the team, and overseeing the development and implementation of all search and board advisory services. She has personally led dozens of Executive Director/CEO searches and particularly loves the process of working with board and search leads to help them guide their volunteers, staff and community through high-stakes leadership transitions. In addition to her work through Edgility, she spent 12 years as a board member for two different organizations in her community, has served as a long time volunteer for local schools and other social service nonprofits and has developed Edgility’s CEO evaluation practice, which works with boards and leaders nationwide. Christina is also the co-host of the Hire Ground Podcast, a weekly show focused on the K12 policy and talent landscape, where she and Josh Czupryk break down the news of the day, engage in conversation with prominent sector leaders, and share their insights on how leaders can implement best-in-class talent practices. Christina holds a B.A. in Political Science from UCLA and an MPA from the School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University.
