Executive Leadership
Kristian Gore is a passionate advocate of national representation in international affairs and business. As a Michigan State undergraduate, she worked in the study abroad office where she first observed the lack of national representation in the university's international programs. Upon earning her MA degree in Global Governance, Politics, and Security from American University, Gore served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Vanuatu, one of the most remote places in the world. She has since lived in eight countries and was a Rosenthal Fellow at the Office of the Under-Secretary of Defense Policy where she focused on transnational security issues, Leahy Law, Atrocity Prevention, Civilian Casualties, and Women, Peace, and Security. Kristian's recent work experiences include analytical and advisory roles at Booz Allen Hamilton and First Trip Inc., (now part of CORLA) in Washington, D.C.
