Yanni joined Crimson with 6 years of experience as Dartmouth’s District Enrollment Director for the Caribbean and Latin America region.  Her prior professional experience includes venture capital and private equity investing, consumer products and technology, and agriculture. In the last decade, Yanni and her partner (in life and work) built their social enterprise in Guyana into the largest grower/processor of Caribbean chili peppers and the largest greenhouse vegetable grower in the region.  However, Yanni is most proud of the economic opportunities they have created for indigenous communities and smallholder farmers.

As a real-time practitioner of leveraging knowledge to reduce suffering, Yanni encourages her students to discover the one (or more) human problem that tugs their heartstrings, and then forge a path to contribute to the solution through their academic passions - be it history or computer science or visual arts.  Yanni has guided students to top universities in the US including Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Yale, UPenn, Columbia, Dartmouth, Cornell, Duke, Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Johns Hopkins, UC Berkeley and UCLA, while shaping her students’ long-term career visions that transformed aspirations in crowded academic fields into differentiating and actionable strategies.

As a mother of two energetic tween boys, Yanni has traded her long distance racing flats for more anaerobic games like “tag”.  She loves cooking, to the extent that both her undergraduate and MBA application essays had the recurring theme of food (which worked!).  She was featured by Harvard Business School’s “Portrait Project” with a short essay titled “I am what I eat.”
