Senior🎓
Top SchoolAna Mendez is an economist and behavioral scientist with over 10 years of experience designing and evaluating evidence-based interventions to improve public policy outcomes in developing countries. At the World Bank's eMBeD unit she blends behavioral science, development economics, and impact evaluation to tackle issues from migrant and women's inclusion to domestic revenue mobilization across Latin America and beyond. She has led multi-country diagnostics, co-designed field experiments, and scaled policy-relevant innovations that measurably improved health, formal employment, and social cohesion. Previously she built and managed migration portfolios and capacity-building initiatives at IPA and the IDB, where she also created the largest Spanish-language repository of behavioral field experiments in Latin America. A Harvard MPA with MA/BA degrees in economics from Universidad de los Andes, she pairs rigorous academic training with hands-on program execution and an unusual knack for translating experimental evidence into actionable government reforms. Based in Washington, D.C., she combines technical fluency with deep regional networks that accelerate uptake of behavioral solutions.
