Michaela Marcy

Michaela Marcy joins GDI Americas as a Senior Associate for Operations, bringing eight years of experience in humanitarian aid and community development programming across Ukraine, South Sudan, Uganda, Cambodia, and the Middle East.

Previously, Michaela lived and worked internationally, leading food security programs in conflict-affected settings, including directing a $30 million emergency food assistance portfolio in Ukraine following the full-scale invasion. She also managed USAID- and WFP-funded livelihoods, nutrition, and food security programs in South Sudan and Cambodia. Prior to joining GDI, Michaela managed refugee resettlement programs in Denver, Colorado, including the Colorado Refugee Speakers Bureau.

Outside the office, Michaela can be found on a run, hiking with her 15-year-old pup, planning her next travels, or searching her nearest tiny library for new books.
