Kristin Gilliss Moyer

COO & Head of Portfolio

Kristin leads Mulago's grant and investment portfolio and oversees operations. She joined Mulago in 2013 to grow and support an exemplary portfolio of social investments – grants, debt and equity – in high-impact organizations with a scalable solution to meet the basic needs of the poor.

Her background spans the private, public and nonprofit sectors, including stints in investment banking, the US Peace Corps, the US National Park Service, and organizations focused on early childhood development and immigrant job placement. Kristin has brought these varied experiences to philanthropy since 2008.

Prior to Mulago, she was a Principal at the Skoll Foundation, where she worked with social entrepreneurs, and Program Finance Officer at the Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation, where she focused on environmental conservation.

Kristin received her AB in English from Harvard University and her MPA, with a focus in international development, from NYU's Wagner School.
