John Crisci

John B. Crisci recently served as the acting director of a UN humanitarian agency’s Supply

Chain Division, keeping operations running smoothly in the face of the multiple global

challenges posed by COVID-19, thereby enabling the UN to assist more than a 100 million

people with food. He also ensured that the division used its global supply chain infrastructure,

expertise, and experience to support the humanitarian community’s efforts to deal with the

pandemic.

John was instrumental in making sure all divisions worked closely together to assist close to

a 100 million people, often in the most challenging emergency situations possible—conflict,

natural disaster, climate change, economic collapse, or a combination of these. He has also

served as deputy director of emergency response and director of the budget division. He has

served in several field positions around the world, including the Sudan, the Republic of the

Congo, and Sierra Leone, where he served as emergency coordinator for the Ebola outbreak in

2014.

John has over twenty-seven years of experience in general management, business

development, and risk management. This is his first work of fiction.
