NoteThe source confirms Jesse Clifton held the role of Executive Director at Center on Long-Term Risk and that he is stepping down in 2025. However, the source states he led CLR 'for the past 5 years' (as of the 2025-01-31 publication date), which would place his start date around 2020 — this aligns with the claimed startDate of 2020. The endDate of 2025 is confirmed by the article's description of him stepping down in January 2025. All key fields are confirmed, but the record shows an endDate of 2025 without specifying he is transitioning to part-time work at CLR (the source indicates he will continue part-time involvement during the transition). This is a minor incompleteness rather than a contradiction — the record accurately captures his departure from the Executive Director role in 2025.
