The 31-Year-Old in Charge of Dismantling G.M. (New York Times)

The New York Times mentions CGD president Nancy Birdsall in an article profiling a former CGD staffer, Brian Deese.

From the article:

"Mr. Deese’s route to the auto table at the White House was anything but a straight line. He is the son of a political science professor at Boston College (his father) and an engineer who works in renewable energy (his mother). He grew up in the Boston suburb of Belmont and attended Middlebury College in Vermont. He went to Washington to work on aid issues and was quickly hired by Nancy Birdsall, a widely respected authority on the effectiveness of international aid and the founder of the Center for Global Development."
