Jina Krause-Vilmar

Jina Krause-Vilmar is an executive, author, and former advisor to the United Nations, reimagining sustainable migration, economic inclusion, and women’s power. With two decades of global experience, she has advanced women’s economic security in conflict zones and fragile states—conducting qualitative research, training humanitarian practitioners, and advancing public policy. She is known for translating field-based insights into strategies that drive systems-level change.

Jina has served as CEO of national organizations working to lift the poorest communities and advises women-led organizations supporting women and girls in crisis. Her work illustrates women’s power, revealing the hidden costs displaced women carry and the ingenuity with which they transform constraint into leadership, bringing human depth to stories too often reduced to headlines.

Born and raised in Texas to an Indian immigrant family, she now lives in Brooklyn with her husband, children, and Rottweiler.
