ABOUT KATYA RIMKUNAS
A mission-driven global leader with 20+ years of experience leading multi-million-dollar impact initiatives, forging strategic partnerships, and driving policy and governance solutions. I specialize in mobilizing resources, securing funding, and designing large-scale programs that empower communities and create sustainable solutions. As Director for Democracy, Rights, and Governance at IRI, I have led international initiatives, directed high-performing teams, and developed strategies to address some of the biggest challenges to democracy globally. Previously, as Regional Deputy Director for Latin America and the Caribbean, I oversaw a regional portfolio across 20 countries, strengthening stakeholder engagement and advancing governance initiatives in complex political environments. Passionate about bridging public, private, and nonprofit sectors to drive lasting impact, I thrive in high-level strategy, policy influence, and global leadership roles. I am eager to continue leveraging my expertise in strategic partnerships, program leadership, and stakeholder engagement to drive mission-driven initiatives.
