About
Hi, I’m Cristina Olivares. I’m a Senior Project and Strategic Partnerships Manager with 6+ years of experience leading high-visibility, multi-country initiatives across Europe, Latin America and Africa. I excel at executive-level relationship management, overseeing complex campaigns and events, and steering multi-six-figure budgets to structured delivery in politically sensitive environments.
Colleagues know me for discretion, reliability, and a structured follow-through. I build and maintain trusted partnerships with heads of state, mayors and senior public leaders across more than 25 countries, and I’m passionate about governance, reporting, risk management, and driving measurable outcomes through cross-functional, multicultural teams.
