About Kristin G. Eberhard

I’m a mission-driven policy leader with 15+ years of experience shaping impactful strategies across climate, clean energy, democracy reform, and housing. I’ve worked on everything from carbon markets to campaign finance reform to electrification of homes and machines — always grounded in evidence, always aimed at systemic change.I thrive at the intersection of data and narrative — translating complex research into clear, compelling strategies that move policymakers, build coalitions, and win funding. As a former policy executive and researcher, I’ve led teams, launched programs, published widely, and testified in front of regulators and lawmakers.Core strengths: strategic thinking, evidence-based decision-making, coalition building, communicating across disciplines and ideologies, and staying nimble in fast-changing landscapes.
