      Thanks so much for taking time to post this review. We have found that there are a lot more career development opportunities than what most may realize. Sue and the ELT are very focused on ensuring that we develop our people management skills to an even greater extent. If you'd like to share more details, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. pam.yanchik@gatesfoundation.org
