Meet the team
Lauren works with a diverse group of internal and external stakeholders to orchestrate and lead a complex, multi-pronged campaign to champion the capabilities of MethaneSAT – a high performance, purpose-built satellite to map and measure oil and gas methane emissions worldwide. She works to ensure the data MethaneSAT produced while operational can be used within government, industry, academia, the financial community and civil society to monitor, measure, and reduce oil and gas methane pollution to meet our 75% emissions reduction goal. Lauren also leads the EDF Rapid Response Room, a team of science, outreach and communications staff to review data and associated analysis as they are produced.
Millie leads innovative projects that produce actionable data to help solve environmental problems. She currently leads Mission Impact for EDF’s MethaneSAT. Its ability to find and measure methane emissions with unequaled accuracy will provide the data required to motivate and reduce methane emission globally.
Shauda plays a pivotal role in increasing operational efficiency across teams and ensuring clear communication and coordination within EDF, MethaneSAT, and our partners. She helps keep EDF teams in sync on product strategy and data production, along with developing ways to measure the success and impact of MethaneSAT. She serves as the primary point of contact for all inbound communications and helps provide valuable insights that drive improvement and effectiveness of MethaneSAT products and value proposition.
Kira, a veteran digital strategist, helps optimize the way MethaneSAT presents data for maximum impact. Her prior experience includes leading Environmental Defense Fund's digital team, managing search and navigation products at AOL and helping launch the Washington Post's original web site.
