Evelyn Dan Epelle (CCT ‘20) Named 2025 International Strategy Forum Fellow

Congratulations to Evelyn Dan Epelle (CCT ‘20), who has been named a 2025 Fellow of the International Strategy Forum (ISF)! The ISF brings together emerging global leaders working at the intersection of technology and geopolitics. 

Evelyn, who currently serves as Managing Director & CEO of the Institute for Governance and Economic Transformation, credits the CCT program with helping shape her interdisciplinary and human-centered approach to leadership. 

“During my time at Georgetown CCT, I was taught the value of leading by design and applying human-centered approaches to resolving complex challenges. The ISF fellowship offers a unique opportunity to apply these skills and worldview towards designing innovative solutions and shaping impactful policy decisions.”

Her proposal for the fellowship centers on launching a Development Communications and Media Innovation Lab in Nigeria. The initiative is aimed at bridging communication gaps in policy design and implementation. 

While she was in DC for the AI Expo, Evelyn joined us in the CCT Lounge for a video interview reflecting on her journey including how her community in Nigeria inspires her work, the CCT courses and faculty that inspired her, and her advice for current students. 

Video coming soon- stay tuned!
