Allison Willner

Allison’s work sits at the intersection of analytics, storytelling, and organizational values. She helps clients understand not only what their data shows, but how that information informs their mission and decision-making. Her philosophy, which she calls “data in practice,” reflects her belief that information is only as powerful as the systems and behaviors that shape it.

Since establishing CCS’s Systems & Change Management practice area, Allison has guided clients through comprehensive assessments of their development operations, analyzing how processes, workflows, and organizational priorities support long-term strategic goals.

As an Executive Vice President, Allison helps organizations understand the story their data is telling, creating connections between individual activities, operational structures, and big-picture objectives. Her work enables organizations to take meaningful ownership of their data environments and build clear, ethical data practices that improve how their development programs operate.

Allison holds an MBA from Columbia Business School and a BA in creative writing from SUNY Binghamton. Outside of work, she enjoys good coffee, magical realism, unusual houseplants, and making data visualizations for fun.
