May serves as both the Chief Strategy Officer and Chief Development Officer for Bridge, leading the Development pipeline in Kenya, as well as international expansion. She also leads Research, Government Relations and Business Development and supervises Marketing and Brand Strategy.
Prior to founding Bridge, she published widely on ecological and economic development, and she served as an adviser to many international organizations, focusing on design, development and sustainable cities around the world. Her experience also extends to the classroom, having taught in primary, middle and secondary schools in both China and the US, as well as in the university lecture halls of the University of California, Berkeley.
