Cristina Gutiérrez de Piñeres Scarpetta - (United Way)

A psychologist trained at the University of Maryland, with a master’s degree in Developmental Psychology from Teachers College, Columbia University. For over 20 years, she has worked to promote the development of vulnerable communities across both Colombia and the United States, partnering with organisations such as Fundación Cardioinfantil, UNICEF, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, and the Genesis Foundation, among others. Her professional journey has provided first-hand insight into the challenges faced by children, young people, families and educators affected by deep social inequalities. Drawing on this experience, she has designed and led systemic, high-impact solutions to support them. For 15 years, she served as the country representative for the Genesis Foundation in Colombia, and in 2012, she was appointed its Executive Director. Since 2020, she has held the role of Executive Director at United Way Colombia, an organisation created from the merger of Fundación Genesis and Fundación Dividendo por Colombia. Cristina currently serves on the boards of United Way Worldwide, Fundación Scarpetta Gnecco, and the Asociación de Fundaciones Empresariales.
