Appointment of Grant Cameron as Director of SDSN TReNDS

We are very pleased to announce the appointment of Grant Cameron as Director of the Thematic Research Network on Data and Statistics (SDSN TReNDS). Grant has over 35 years of experience working in economics and statistics, most recently at the World Bank where he was Manager of the Advisory Services and Economic Statistics Department. This role involved leading the International Comparison Program, the Bank's work on statistical capacity building, National Accounts, and much more. Grant has also served as an economist and statistician within the Government of Canada.

We are extremely grateful to Jessica Espey for her long service as Director of TReNDS and tenure with SDSN, including serving as Associate Director and Head of SDSN's New York Office. In addition to establishing TReNDS, Jessica played a key role in coordinating SDSN's engagement in the SDG negotiations and led portfolios of work on monitoring and accountability, cities, and gender. Jessica is stepping down from her role as Director of TReNDS to pursue an academic career. She is currently a PhD Candidate and teacher at the University of Bristol. She will continue to work with TReNDS as an expert member and with the SDSN as a Senior Adviser.
