The Center for Financial Inclusion (CFI) is honored to welcome Kim Wilson and Nisha Singh to its Advisory Council. Together, they bring decades of leadership in inclusive finance with deep expertise in women’s economic empowerment, financial resilience, and systems-level change. Their insights will be instrumental in helping guide CFI’s work as we continue to advance inclusive financial systems through rigorous research and advocacy.

She is an independent consultant with CGAP, having previously held roles as Senior Program Director at The SEEP Network and Technical Lead for FinEquity, managing multi stakeholder global learning initiatives.
Kim is a Senior Lecturer in Human Security and International Business at Tufts University’s Fletcher School. Her work examines financial resilience and the economic experiences of displaced populations. Kim also founded the Fletcher Leadership Program for Financial Inclusion, an executive education program equipping central bankers and policymakers with tools to promote inclusive finance. She is a Senior Research Fellow at Fletcher’s Leir Institute for Migration and Human Security.
“We are thrilled to have Kim and Nisha join our Advisory Council,” said Nataša Goronja, Managing Director of CFI. “Each brings extensive expertise in financial inclusion with a focus on areas ranging from migration to gender lens investing, and climate resilience. Beyond their technical expertise, Nisha and Kim also understand what it takes to translate research into action, to drive influence and change that will ultimately serve communities. I am certain they will enrich our Advisory Council and offer new perspectives to drive our impact at the Center for Financial Inclusion.”
