Global Citizen is a movement of engaged citizens who are using their collective voice to end extreme poverty, tackle climate change and reduce inequality by 2030.  Since 2012, Global Citizen has grown into one of the largest, most visible platforms for people around the world calling on world leaders to honor their responsibilities in achieving the United Nations Global Goals, a roadmap to end extreme poverty, tackle climate change, and reduce inequality by 2030, agreed to by all 193 member states of the United Nations in 2015. To date, Global Citizens have taken over 24 million actions and mobilized $48.5 billion in commitments and policy announcements from leaders that have impacted the lives of 880 million people living in extreme poverty.

"We are entering a critical year for the achievement of the United Nations Global Goals, and the size of this challenge - helping get 736 million people out of extreme poverty - requires that we innovate and scale the movement to new heights," said Hugh Evans, CEO of Global Citizen. "We are excited to have Danielle joining our team. Her proven leadership and ability to scale organizations will catalyze Global Citizen's growth into new markets and expand our ability to reach our goal of engaging 100 million people across the world in the movement."

"Global Citizen has built and activated an army of tens of millions of connected, informed, and engaged people across the globe. When an organization makes global citizenship its mission, it finds itself with incredibly passionate and committed allies and partners. It's been incredible to watch how the universal language of music has turbocharged its growth," said Ms. Maged. "At a time where every single voice can be heard, I am thrilled to be able to help grow the movement and offer my expertise to advance Global Citizen's reach and purpose.  There's a huge opportunity to cultivate additional partners in media and technology, sports organizations, athlete ambassadors, among others excited by the power of the mission and what we can collectively achieve."
