Kristina M. Dunlevy

Director of Global Operations & Finance @ Management & Training Corporation

About

I’m an operations and finance leader with 20 years of experience transforming global organizations through business process redesign, cross-functional alignment, and performance management. Across the globe from Haiti, to West Africa, to Egypt, I’ve overseen portfolios up to $70M, led operational turnaround strategies, negotiated complex contract outcomes, and supported enterprise-wide restructuring across continents. I thrive at the intersection of strategy and execution, building scalable systems that deliver measurable results. I approach mission-driven work with pragmatism and empathy, guiding organizations through change, risk, and operational growth. Most importantly, I help teams get to yes, solving problems pragmatically, not rigidly, and aligning people and processes toward shared outcomes.
