“EA Sweden's coaching was invaluable during a pivotal point in my career, supporting me in my decision to establish a new project focused on tuberculosis. This coaching gave me the practical advice needed for changing jobs, including guidance on becoming a consultant, finding sources of funding for new ventures, navigating the EA and broader philanthropic landscape; it also provided me with a wealth of contacts that have proven to be crucial for the success of the project.”
