About Cristina Bisson

Accomplished global health and development leader with 25+ years of experience. Achievements have centered on leadership for large scale health programs, policy dialogue, quality improvement, team building, strategic growth planning, grant design, management, and group facilitation and public speaking. I am a team player with excellent coordination skills among health professionals, executives, health officials, funding agencies, public and private sector stakeholders, and community leaders. I bring an agility to navigate across development disciplines and analyze data for program design, innovative thinking, operational planning and analysis, and engagement of health policy. Public health topics have concentrated on community development, health systems strengthening, integration, health policy and advocacy, immunization, reproductive health, infectious disease, and emergency clinical management. I maintain my nursing license as a Registered Nurse in Virginia.
