Marianne Møllmann is Director of Regional Programs at the Fund for Global Human Rights, where she has worked since April 2018. At the Fund, she is responsible for providing day-to-day support for five regional programs: African Great Lakes, Latin America, North Africa, South Asia, and South East Asia. Marianne is also involved in shaping the Program team's people processes to align with the Fund's values of respect, agility, integrity, inclusion, and sustainability. Her management approach has grown from a Servant Leadership model to the deliberately developmental, and is still evolving (because, curiosity). Voted "most likely to fold 7 lives into one" in high school, Marianne has a background in strategic brand planning, and more than two decades of experience in the not-for-profit world, in communication, advocacy, research, management, and fundraising. She also founded and ran a textile design and apparel business for a couple of years, and has been an adjunct lecturer on human rights, gender, and health at 6 private universities across the US, including two ivies.
Marianne is passionate about yoga (learning, teaching, doing, being), and an active member and organizer at Showing Up for Racial Justice NYC. She is hoping to, some day, discover what she wants to be when she grows up.
For those who need official papers, Marianne holds a MSc from Ecole des Affaires de Paris and an LL.M. in international human rights law from Essex University. She is also a registered yoga instructor (hello YogaTheWorld.org!) and at some point in the distant past got qualified to provide Swedish massages and took opera voice lessons.
Marianne grew up in Copenhagen, Denmark, and has moved country and/or continent more times than she wants to remember. She currently toggles between urbanity and rural bliss on either side of the Atlantic, but really just prefers to be wherever her spouse and daughter are.
