Tina Sciabica
Tina serves as the Global Gender Equity Lead on Amazon’s Social Responsibility team that works to ensure that the people, workers, and communities across Amazon’s entire value chain are treated with dignity and respect. Tina is developing a multi-year strategy to advance gender equity across Amazon’s supply chain and operations in partnership with ICRW Advisors and The Mara Partners and leads Amazon’s work as a founding member of the Climate Resolute Coalition, a group of companies committed to elevating women’s leadership in designing and launching climate solutions.
Tina is a firm believer in the power of local, women-led organizations. Before joining Amazon, she spent over a decade as the Executive Director of READ Global (Rural Education and Development), an international nonprofit organization that partners with rural communities in Bhutan, India and Nepal to drive rural prosperity. READ works through community-owned and managed libraries that serve as a platform for a holistic suite of programs that help advance gender equality. During her time as executive director, READ Global transitioned to a decentralized model with READ country offices becoming independent entities.
Prior to READ Global, Tina served as the Deputy Director of Social Venture Network (now American Sustainable Business Council). She started her career as a corporate litigator in Chicago and left the practice of law to start an attorney recruiting business. She was involved as an early chapter leader for Room to Read and focused this volunteer work on Room to Read’s girls scholarship program. She lives in Seattle and spends as much time as she can outside in nature….when it isn’t raining.
