WASHINGTON, D.C. – Michael Cervino, a veteran leader in digital analysis and strategic planning with more than two decades of experience, has joined the Environmental Working Group (EWG) as its Chief Technology Officer.
“This hire is part of EWG's broader commitment to ‘go to the next level’ in how we use big data, scientific analysis and online and mobile tools to move policy, consumers and markets,” EWG Executive Director Heather White said. “Michael has been an innovator in engaging consumers and decision-makers through web technologies and mobile services, and we couldn’t be happier to have him on our team.”
Cervino’s work experience includes developing and executing successful digital strategies for the AFL-CIO and leading non-profits such as the ACLU, Conservation International, Easter Seals, Feeding America, Heifer Project International, Human Rights First, Public Citizen, and the Trust for Public Land.
