Senior Program Officer

Tina Assi is a program officer with Grand Challenges Canada (GCC). At GCC, Tina leads impact investments in innovations that improve the lives of underserved women, girls and children in low-resource settings. In this capacity, Tina is GCC’s lead on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) for the organization’s Transition-to-Scale portfolio, and provides strategic oversight on GCC’s seed portfolios: Stars in SRHR, Saving Lives at Birth (SLAB), and GCC’s new Options for Pregnancy Termination Innovation Initiative (OPTions Initiative).

With over ten years of experience in epidemiology, global health and management, Tina brings robust experience to GCC and has been central in helping the organization design its strategy and realize its objectives around advancing gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls.
