Meet Cristina, an executive assistant at Imaginable Futures. She oversees scheduling, travel, expenses and logistical support.

Prior to joining Imaginable Futures and Omidyar Network, Cristina was a cross functional traffic manager at Apple, providing administrative and project management support to the global marketing and communications team.

Before Apple, she worked with Gap Inc. as an online producer, working with marketers, copywriters and content developers to produce online marketing campaigns for Gap's e-commerce platforms.

In her own words:

“I started off in the administrative world early on in my career. But when dot.com happened, I had an opportunity to learn and work in the web/online space which lasted for over a decade, working for the most part as an online producer for various well-known eCommerce websites before going back to what I currently enjoy, being an executive assistant.”
