Fran Silvestri
Director, International Initiative for Mental Health Leadership (IIMHL)
Fran has an MBA from the Whitemore School of Economics, in the US, and was the chief executive for Monadnock Family Services, also in the US. Fran contributes to Te Pou by linking Te Pou and its programmes to other international organisations; supporting the development of a robust mental health-designed leadership development programme; and assisting in building a strong board and recruiting senior leaders.
