She previously worked as COO for the Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT, and Harvard, where she helped define the long-term vision and developed and implemented strategies to transform the Institute from a start-up operation to a mature organization. Prior to the Ragon Institute, she worked for the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) where she was responsible for providing strategic direction, guidance, and support to both CHAI’s in-country and global operations teams.

Martin has experience living and working internationally and began her career with the Peace Corps as one of the first group of volunteers to work in Mongolia and later supported the programs in Tonga, Ethiopia, and Namibia. She has worked alongside communities that are most affected by climate change, which has driven her to work for an organization whose mission is focused on the urgency of addressing climate change.
