Fiona Lin

- Board of Advisors

Fiona Lin brings over 15 years of leadership experience in the education sector, primarily launching new programs and functions at high-growth, non-profit organizations.  She joined Achievement Network in 2012 to scale its human capital functions, establishing a six-person team and tripling the organization’s headcount in under three years, before then launching its Org Effectiveness team, reporting on ANet’s impact in accelerating school and student success and building a team of data scientists.   Prior to ANet, Fiona spent a decade working at TNTP (The New Teacher Project), first as a founding partner in its teacher certification business line, where she managed teams partnering with urban districts, higher ed institutions, and state departments of education to train and certify over 2,000 new teachers, including a third of all new teachers in post-Katrina New Orleans schools.  Fiona also launched TNTP’s Research & Evaluation function; in this role, she commissioned multiple external impact evaluations of TNTP’s Teaching Fellows model, including a federal i3 Validation study.  

Most recently, Fiona has shifted into the political & social impact space, joining ActBlue, the premier online fundraising platform for Democratic campaigns, progressive organizations, and nonprofits working to put power in the hands of small-dollar donors, in a foundational role establishing its people and culture functions as ActBlue accelerates into the 2020 electoral cycle.
