"I brought in Avi Green to help me build the Institute on Race, Power and Political Economy -- and he had a tremendous impact. We achieved an amazing amount together. Avi was integral to the foundation of the Institute and a major source of support for me as a director. Avi has all the skills people need to build organizations: he provides great ideas for strategy and communications, he edits beautifully, he creates budgets, he puts together teams to win seven-figure grants. He considers the big picture. He is a thoughtful counselor and a great partner."
Darrick Hamilton, University Professor, Henry Cohen Professor of Economics and Urban Policy, Founding Director of the Institute on Race, Power and Political Economy, The New School
“Avi Green delivers the goods.
He is an amazing strategist and a brilliant communicator. Avi helped me break into publications like The New York Times and has given me crucial counsel.
When I wanted to be sure my book, Paying the Price, would make an impact on scholars and students, be a gripping read for non-academics, and shift the debate in the halls of power, Avi's coaching and editing helped me bring out my best voice. I’m deeply grateful.”
Sara Goldrick-Rab, President & Founder, Hope Center for College, Community, and Justice; Professor of Sociology & Medicine, Temple University
"I had the pleasure of working with Avi on a series of research projects about campaigns and political party leadership. I didn't have much 'on-the-ground' experience, and Avi stepped in and help me match my project's goals to the realities of modern campaign practices. His expertise and depth of knowledge were second to none, and he was a joy to work with. Avi's input at key decision points reshaped the entire trajectory of the larger project and the final product was so much richer because of his guidance."
Nicholas Carnes, Professor of Public Policy and Sociology, Sanford School of Public Policy, Duke University
"I had the privilege of working with Avi as he contributed to Scholars Strategy Network's growth into a nation-spanning resource for policymakers, journalists, and civic groups. I benefited directly from Avi's deft leadership, creative thought partnership, and supportive mentorship and coaching as I learned how to bring my research to a broader public audience. I deeply appreciate the ideas, connections, and skills he helped me to foster."
