GOLDSMITH REBECCA HALES

Goldsmith Rebecca Hales specializes in monitoring and evaluation leadership for international development programs, delivering high-impact technical consulting services that strengthen evidence-based decision-making. As a Director for Monitoring and Evaluation, she designs and implements performance tracking frameworks, data collection systems, and impact assessment methodologies tailored to complex multi-country initiatives. Her expertise lies in developing M&E strategic plans, building local capacity for data utilization, and ensuring alignment with donor requirements for accountability and results reporting. She brings deep proficiency in performance indicators, logic models, mixed-methods evaluation design, and real-time data management systems, with a focus on translating complex findings into actionable insights for program adaptation. Her primary client is the Millennium Challenge Corporation, where she has served in senior intermittent PSC roles leading M&E functions across large-scale, results-driven compacts. Her work supports MCC’s mission of reducing poverty through sustainable economic growth, requiring rigorous evaluation of infrastructure, agriculture, and governance interventions. She operates within strict compliance frameworks for international development aid, ensuring transparency, data integrity, and adherence to OECD-DAC evaluation standards. Her core technical domain is Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services (NAICS 541690), which in practice means delivering specialized, non-routine advisory services to government and multilateral donors seeking independent, high-quality evaluation capacity. She is positioned as a niche expert in M&E leadership for U.S. foreign assistance programs, distinguishing herself through strategic oversight rather than broad-spectrum consulting. As a Women-Owned Small Business and Woman-Owned Business certified entity based in Carrboro, North Carolina, she operates as an individual contractor under the 2J entity structure, enabling agile, personalized service delivery to federal partners. Her certifications enhance her credibility in federal procurement environments that prioritize diversity and inclusion in contracting.
