Curator, creative consultant, and cultural diplomacy advisor working across international development, creativity, and culture. Krisha works with cultural institutions, international organizations, and creative practitioners to bring ideas to life through compelling storytelling, cross-cultural collaborations, and strategic partnerships. Her work explores how art and culture can connect communities, shape narratives, foster dialogue, and create meaningful social impact.

With a decade of international experience across the United Nations, and the creative sector, Krisha works at the intersection of strategic communications, partnerships, advocacy, and cultural diplomacy.

At the SDG Action Campaign, hosted by the United Nations Development Programme, she led strategic communications, global campaigns, and creative partnerships across flagship initiatives, including the United Nations SDG Action Awards. She also led and developed the Advocacy Campaign Support Framework, working with governments, UN Country Teams, civil society, private-sector partners, and cultural institutions on campaign strategies and country-level public engagement activations.

Her work has increasingly explored culture as a tool for diplomacy and public engagement. She curated Hope in Action at the United Nations General Assembly Hall in New York and contributed to Parallel Realities, the United Nations’ first pavilion at Triennale Milano, creating platforms that connect artists, institutions, and global policy conversations.

Today, Krisha advises organizations and leaders on strategic communications, stakeholder engagement, partnerships, and creative strategy. Her work includes communications for the United Nations Joint SDG Fund, translating development finance and catalytic investment into accessible narratives for governments, donors, partners, and wider audiences. She also advises the Swiss Chamber of Commerce Philippines on initiatives spanning Swiss–Philippine bilateral relations on business engagement, sustainability, and partnerships.

She has been recognised as Cannes Lions 30 Under 30 (2024), McKinsey & Company Next Generation Women Leaders (2021), and one of NET-A-PORTER Incredible Girls of the Future (2019), alongside awards from Bulgari and Domus Academy Luxury Brand Management Competition (2019), Balmain and Istituto Marangoni Digital Marketing Competition (2019), and the FedEx International Trade Challenge (2012).

Her work is united by a focus on connecting ideas, institutions, and people in ways that strengthen public engagement and create lasting impact.
