She holds an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, and a bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics and Economics from Harvard University.

"I am joining Newday because I share their vision that institutions and individuals can effect systemic change in critical issues such as the environment and diversity through investments and advocacy," Popkin said. "I look forward to helping the team build a strong foundation that will scale the impact that their work can have to ensure better outcomes for these global problems."
