Sierra Club announced a shake-up in its leadership ranks as two of the environmental group’s senior employees are exiting the nonprofit.
Phil Radford, Sierra Club’s chief strategy officer, plans to leave the group in the coming weeks to serve as CEO at another organization, Sierra Club Executive Director Ben Jealous told staff Thursday in an email obtained by POLITICO’s E&E News.
Radford will join the nonprofit Consumer Reports in February as its president and CEO, that organization announced Thursday. Radford was previously CEO at Greenpeace USA and was a founder and leader of the group Progressive Multiplier before he joined Sierra Club in 2023.
Erica McKinley, who served as Sierra Club’s chief legal officer, has also left the group, Jealous said.
