Dear John,
Atlas Network is announcing the departure of two longtime leaders as they take on new opportunities in the broader freedom movement.
President Matt Warner will join Philanthropy Roundtable as Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Innovation Officer Lyall Swim will join Stand Together as Vice President of Talent Strategies, where he will lead talent development efforts in the academic, think tank, and civil society spheres.
“This is a bittersweet moment for Atlas Network, but also a point of great pride,” said CEO Brad Lips. “Matt and Lyall have each been instrumental in shaping Atlas Network’s impact and partnerships for years. We’re thrilled to see their leadership continue to strengthen the cause of liberty by promoting philanthropic freedom and the future talent pipeline of the freedom movement.”
Since joining Atlas Network in 2010, Matt Warner helped refine the organization’s strategy through the Coach, Compete, Celebrate framework and demonstrated how freedom movement organizations can improve living standards in poor countries more cost-effectively than other outsider-led approaches to development.
Lyall Swim, who joined in 2018, led the reinvention of Atlas Network Academy and helped “future-ready” partners through innovation and technology initiatives.
“Lyall and especially Matt have been key leaders and innovators for Atlas Network,” said Montgomery Brown, Chair of Atlas Network’s Board of Directors. “We salute them for their contributions and look forward to new forms of collaboration with them in their new posts.”
Matt Warner: “It has been the honor of my career to serve Atlas Network and its partners around the world. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together and confident the team will continue to expand the impact of this mission.”
Lyall Swim: “It has been a privilege to engage with incredible partners across the world as they champion the free society. I’m grateful to have helped guide the reinvention of how to build capability across the freedom movement. Moving forward, I am confident Atlas Network is well-positioned to keep innovating and preparing the freedom movement for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.”
Atlas Network enters this transition from a position of strength and stability, with thriving partnerships in more than 100 countries. This week, we’re proud to host our Liberty Forum & Freedom Dinner in New York City—our flagship annual gathering celebrating partners advancing freedom worldwide.
