Institute for International Economic Policy

We are delighted to welcome Alexandra Rivera as IIEP’s new Program Manager!

Alexandra joins us after serving as the Communications Manager at Compass Pro Bono, a national nonprofit organization that creates strategic partnerships between nonprofit and business leaders. In addition to managing day-to-day communications, she made significant contributions during her five years at the organization, including designing and building its webpage, updating its visual branding, and expanding its social media presence and following. Before transitioning to communications, Alexandra supported Compass Pro Bono’s DC programs, where she provided strategic support to over 100 nonprofit organizations and fostered civic engagement among 300 business leaders on an annual basis.

Alexandra graduated from Georgetown University with a degree in Economics and Government. During her undergraduate studies, Alexandra interned at the Latino Economic Development Center in Washington, DC, and at DoSomething.org in New York, NY.

Alexandra will play a pivotal role in advancing the Institute’s mission in developing and propelling high-quality, multi-disciplinary, and non-partisan research, policy engagement, and outreach surrounding economic globalization. We look forward to the leadership, vision, and value Alexandra will bring to IIEP in her new role!
