Devon Gulbrandsen

I am a detail-oriented and mission-driven program operations specialist with over nine years of experience in program management, project coordination, and stakeholder engagement across global initiatives. My expertise lies in managing multi-million-dollar funding streams, improving operational efficiency, and facilitating cross-departmental collaboration. I am passionate about driving organizational effectiveness and supporting teams in advancing climate solutions and philanthropy-supported initiatives.

In my current role as Program Manager for the Global Initiative for Justice Truth and Reconciliation, I manage a portfolio of U.S. Government-funded programs, securing $17.5 million for critical public programming initiatives. I have successfully delivered over 60 international conferences and trainings across 15+ countries, strengthening cross-departmental coordination and developing comprehensive systems for administrative and financial compliance.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to enhancing youth engagement and activism, particularly in diverse African contexts. I have organized and led numerous capacity-building trainings and have contributed to thought leadership through various publications and podcasts. My goal is to continue making a meaningful impact in program management and humanitarian efforts.
