Eliza Anyangwe, Managing Editor, The Correspondent

In my year as media director at The Rules, I worked closely with Jess Rimington and can attest to her vision, leadership skills and, perhaps most importantly in these times, her humanity. Jess is deeply motivated to understand why people, movements, organisations are the way they are, which makes her a great listener and an adept problem solver because her starting point is always your reality and not what she has theorised for herself. She is a skillful facilitator, an accomplished academic and a committed collaborator. I was ever grateful to have her on my side as we worked to tell new stories about the seemingly intractable global challenges we face and find ways to imagine radically different futures.
