We are delighted to announce that Cristina Ljungberg has joined Acumen’s Board of Directors.

She was an early supporter of our education portfolio, has championed our leadership work, and has traveled with our team on several occasions. We are incredibly grateful for Cristina’s support of Acumen’s overall mission.

Cristina is an advocate of women’s health, and in 2010 Cristina launched Giving Wings in Stockholm, Sweden. The foundation’s work is focused on women and girl’s education and healthcare with a concentration in East Africa and South East Asia.
