“Chloe Safier is a brilliant strategist, serial social entrepreneur and activist for change. I first met Chloe when I was vice president of programs at Global Fund for Women when she brought to us an idea she’d conceived at Oxfam – The Roots Lab, a social innovation lab for young women’s rights activists. With her stewardship, Chloe brought in the partners to make Roots Lab a funded reality and it’s now now piloting in Lebanon, with a vision to expand to other countries. Chloe is an impressive facilitator, fundraiser, innovator, program designer and implementer, researcher and speaker for women’s human rights. She has deep experience and skills in women’s human rights movement building, is plugged into important artivism communities across the globe, and has a deep commitment to collaborative structures and systems to support research and advocacy. Crucially, Chloe is someone who brings together people from different perspectives and experiences in order to forge “out of the box” strategies and partnerships. Hers is a radical creativity that helps to make breakthrough approaches to address inequality a reality.”

“IFEX first worked with Chloe in 2017. She helped us develop a process to ensure that our original content integrated and reflected a strong gender lens. That experience was so positive that we asked her to continue to work with us, to help strengthen our organisational capacity to effectively integrate a gender lens into our programmatic work. Chloe impressed us from the beginning. She has consistently shown that she is not interested in imposing a one-size-fits-all approach, but rather is committed to first establishing a dialogue, through which we can arrive, together, at a clear understanding of who we are, where we are, where we want to go, and how to get there, as well how to integrate into our work a continual learning cycle. She is a collaborative, insightful, professional - and fun to work with. She has contributed enormously to our growth and our work in this area.”

“Chloe and I worked together at Oxfam for several years, across several roles. In each I found Chloe to be super committed and hard working, excellent at building partnerships and relationships, a great writer and analyst. She led a highly participatory process to arrive at a great regional gender strategy, then went on to create ‘Roots Lab’, a project to fund young feminists to innovate, developed across four organizations. Really impressive! ”

“I have both managed, and worked with Chloe as a peer, as part of Oxfam International’s Gender Justice team and as associates with Gender at Work. She is very knowledgeable about women’s rights and gender justice, both in the U.S. and overseas. She has a lot of integrity, is professional, and hard working at whatever she does - be it project management, writing, coordination, program design and creating capacity building tools. She is tenacious and creative - as exhibited in her steering of the Roots Lab to build young feminist leadership. Chloe is a real team player and a joy to work with.”

“Working with Chloe was a great experience. She was knowledgable, reliable, creative, and delivered a highly-polished final product. She was able to help us work through the problem we were trying to solve, develop a tailored solution, manage the various workstreams involved and draw on her considerable expertise to build exactly the right solution for us. I would be happy to recommend her and hope to have the chance to work with her again in future.”

“Chloe was hired by AJWS to support a strategy development process. The strategy was developed through a process that captured the aspirations of a team collaborating accross four countries to contribute to a common goal. Despite the potential power differentials and against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, Chloe was able to develop a feminist and participatory approach that was valued aligned. Chloe demonstrated care for the process, flexibility to account for the challenging context, and was still able to keep us focused on the outcome we were driving towards. Her leadership and approach enabled teams to engage with a level of trust to get us to a complete strategy document and was vital to the process. I am deeply appreciative of her contributions.”

“Chloe facilitated a workshop on Gender & Power for Nava’s Gender Equity Employee Resource Group. Nava is a civic technology company and while Chloe has significant experience working in the impact space, civic tech was new for her - but she did an incredible job adapting her knowledge to our company’s needs. Overall, Chloe was wonderful to work with, extremely communicative, responsive, and creative, and successfully adapted what is normally a full day workshop into a jam-packed 90 minute session for our team. Feedback after the workshop from participants was great. We would certainly hire Chloe again and highly recommend her for other organizations or projects.”

“Working with Chloe and Adeline [to develop a Communications Strategy] was a great pleasure. From the beginning, they had a clear understanding of what we were looking for and were very interested in learning more about the program and the work we are taking forward with GAGGA. Having quickly gotten a grasp of the dynamics of our program, they responded and adapted where necessary and were able to deliver an excellent product, which we all see as useful to take forward to strengthen the communications work for the alliance. They were very professional throughout the consultancy, when interacting with the core coordination team as well as partners, which made it very easy to work with [them]. ”
