Claire is an Executive Assistant at Social Finance, supporting CEO and Co-Founder Tracy Palandjian in the Boston office.
Prior to joining Social Finance, Claire worked at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York as a Special Assistant to the Vice President and Program Coordinator, where she worked with experts in the fields of foreign and domestic policy.

I want to spend my 9-5 feeling like I'm making a positive impact on others, so I knew I wanted to work at Social Finance the moment I found it.
