As PHI’s Manager of Impact, Arielle Altman supports the development and implementation of key strategic priorities that grow the organization’s impact for direct care workers, clients, and employers. In this role, she works to drive strategic alignment across PHI, develop mechanisms to strengthen cross-functional communication and collaboration, and embed data collection and analysis into PHI’s programs and operations.
