Ed is the Founder of CoPower Global and a grants and program management professional whose career has been shaped by a simple belief: that the communities most affected by global challenges should be at the center of the solutions designed to address them.

​

Born and raised in Haiti, Ed grew up watching international organizations pour resources into communities without meaningfully involving them, and she never stopped asking why. That question has driven over a decade of work across global health, international development, and public policy, managing portfolios from $3M to $18M+ across Africa, the Caribbean, and South Asia, always with an eye toward who holds power, who gets heard, and who gets left out.

​

CoPower Global is the convergence of everything she's learned and everything she believes. It is a movement born from the conviction that traditional grantmaking is too rigid, too Western-centric, and too disconnected from the realities of the communities it claims to serve. Through CoPower, Ed is building a space where funders, implementers, and practitioners from Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Latin America/Caribbean and Oceania, can lead the conversation instead of just participating in it.

When she's not doing that, she's running Kafe Edou (a women-owned coffee social enterprise in Haiti that sources exclusively from women producers), working on her macro photography skills or eating way too much Haitian and Mexican food.
