Elizabeth speaks with Dr Carrie Timko Santos. Carrie is currently based in Poland, working for American Red Cross, supporting the national Red Cross societies impacted by the Ukraine war and influx of refugees. Among her many roles, she has served as CEO of Entrepreneurs’ Organization, led international programs for the American Red Cross, and managed a $150 million portfolio in humanitarian donations for the U.S. Department of State. She is the mother of two grown daughters that she considers her best investment in the future.

In this episode, Elizabeth and Carrie cover the importance of diplomacy, gender disparity and what it’s like to be a woman in leadership. They discuss entrepreneurial mindsets, finding purpose through your values, and the power of bearing witness to others’ experiences. Carrie shares insights on the impact of storytelling in humanitarian diplomacy, and how the many threads in her own story have led her to this moment.
