Kristina Wilfore is a seasoned international development and elections specialist who has been on the ground in over 30 countries working to create more inclusive and responsive democratic movements. From Eastern Europe to the Middle East and the Americas, she advises governments, philanthropies and civil society on how to create an enabling environment to meaningfully tackle digital threats to democracy. At Reset.Tech Kristina is the Director of Innovation and Global Projects where she spearheads initiatives at the intersection of election integrity, gender, political violence and information resilience. In 2021 she co-founded #ShePersisted, a global initiative to ensure that digital harms against women leaders are recognized and addressed as threats to national security and the human rights system. Kristina serves as an advisor to the Global Partnership for Action on Gender-based Online Harassment and Abuse, a 14 country collaboration established to address technology-facilitated gender-based violence as part of a shared global agenda to promote peace, security, and stability. She is originally from the rural state of Montana where she began her journey in changemaking when at the age of 14 she organized a campaign to build community support for an abortion clinic in the state that was bombed by violent extremists.
The conversation will be moderated by Unit Director, Dr. Michelle Kaufman.
