Joydeep Sengupta, former staff, NGO Coalition for an International Criminal Court: “Jayne Stoyles has the extraordinary ability of being a decisive leader who can seamlessly execute complex projects with global and local teams, while at the same time being an inspiring teacher who turns challenges into opportunities for her team to learn and grow.  Any new leader in public, private or non-profit settings would benefit from Jayne's remarkable ability to turn inspiration into action, lead without being directive, and create an organizational culture where teamwork is pure pleasure. I was lucky enough to be hired by Jayne for my first job right after graduate school in New York at the Coalition for the International Criminal Court, and I have carried her invaluable lessons in leadership with me ever since.”
