Career Girls, the global nonprofit dedicated to providing girls with real-world career guidance and role models, today announced a new chapter in its leadership as the organization welcomes Elizabeth (Lizzie) Hunt ’99 as its new Executive Director.
Elizabeth is determined to overcome gaps in education, leadership, and opportunity facing women and girls. She believes role models help girls of all backgrounds envision what’s possible for their futures. With more than two decades of experience in nonprofits, digital inclusion, and education programs, she applies strategic vision and disciplined execution to expand educational opportunity and improve lives at scale. Her work spans digital innovation, community engagement, and cross-sector collaboration, weaving technology, equity, and learning access across the U.S. and around the world. She has built multi-sector partnerships, led marketing strategies, and shaped programs for global and local organizations, including TechSoup, Tostan, Internews, Call of the Sea, and USAID. She builds lasting donor relationships and has established multi-year major gift programs rooted in deep engagement.
As Executive Director, Elizabeth will lead strategic vision and operations, including expanding Career Girls’ digital programming to serve more girls globally. She will expand and strengthen Career Girls Clubs — which have tripled the number of schools they serve over the past three years — to inspire more girls across the U.S. She will attract partners and funders committed to amplifying role models’ voices and scaling curriculum reach for long-term, mission-aligned growth and impact.
