As a Senior Advisor at Three Cairns Group, Mimi brings nearly 30 years of international finance, development and diplomacy to bear – especially in projects on the African continent. In addition to her role at Three Cairns Group, Mimi is a Managing Partner at Semai Ventures in Washington, D.C., and Board Director and Chair of the Audit Committee for the ONE Campaign.

Mimi’s early career included experience at a wide range of organizations, including the World Health Organization, the International Executive Service Corps, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, and The Blackstone Group. She has also held multiple board positions for companies and organizations focused on the climate crisis, from the U.S. African Development Foundation to Climate Real Impact Solutions (CRIS) to The Energy for Growth Hub. In all of these efforts and many more, Mimi has applied her skills in diplomacy and collaboration to help diverse stakeholders find common ground and apply their individual resources to make an impact.

Mimi earned her BA at West Texas A&M University and a Master of International Business and International Law and Development at Tufts University.

Mimi joined the Three Cairns Group because she believes that those least responsible for the climate crisis are also the most affected – and that by supporting communities in developing economies, we can find equitable and effective solutions for climate change.
