Announcing John Ramirez's Retirement

We’re both excited and a little bittersweet to announce that John Ramirez, our incredible Chief Financial Officer, will be retiring as of May 7, 2025 (as we mentioned previously, we’re also pleased to welcome Janaa Pickard to the team as our new Director of Finance and Administration).

Over the past seven years, John has been so much more than a financial leader- he’s been a trusted colleague and a steady hand through times of change. His wisdom, integrity, and good humor have left a lasting impression on all of us, and we’re deeply grateful for the impact he’s had on our organization.

John has guided our financial strategy with clarity and care- helping to launch our Mission Aligned Investing approach, streamline core financial processes, and champion equity as we shaped our new 2025–2029 strategic plan.

While we’ll certainly miss working alongside John, we’re thrilled for him as he steps into this well-earned next chapter. Please join us in celebrating his retirement.

Congratulations, John- you’ve earned every moment of what’s ahead!
