ABOUT SAVANNAH LI
I’ve always been curious about how ideas turn into impact—and how the right systems can make that happen. That curiosity led me from knowledge management into the world of innovation delivery and scale-up, where I help organizations design processes that are inclusive, transparent, and built for change.At Mastercard Foundation, I lead initiatives that accelerate youth-led innovations—digitizing funding rounds, operationalizing governance frameworks, and building communities of practice that connect diverse voices. My approach blends design thinking, data-driven insights, and co-creation to ensure solutions are transparent, scalable, and sustainable.Here’s what I currently enjoy- Turning ideas into action through innovation delivery and scale-up strategies- Building communities that foster collaboration and learning- Making data meaningful for better decisions and stronger accountability- Partnering across teams to embed inclusion and sustainability in every stepIf you’re passionate about innovation, systems change, or creating impact at scale, let’s connect—I’d love to share ideas and learn from yours.
