Who We AreGlobal Leadership

Lucy James Director of Global Human Resources

Why I am passionate about Landesa’s mission:

Land rights are the foundation of security for people all over the world. There is no better goal than to give people a reason to believe in a just, equitable, and reliable future for themselves and their children—not to mention the planet—and no better practical path to that future than to give them the tools and support they need to secure it. I love that Landesa successfully combines the ideological and the practical in its pursuit of this mission.
