“In a world where millions experience food insecurity and public resources for food assistance are severely limited, food banks are playing an increasingly pivotal role in alleviating hunger. It's a privilege to work with GFN to strengthen and expand the Network’s community-led efforts to reduce food loss and waste and improve food security around the world.” 

Lisa Moon serves as the President & Chief Executive Officer of The Global FoodBanking Network and is responsible for leading GFN’s overall direction, long-term vision of a world free of hunger, and our strategic priorities. Since joining in November 2015, Lisa has ushered in immense growth for both the organization and the Network of food banks we support. The Network now serves nearly 32 million people in 50 countries.  

Previously, Lisa served as Vice President of Global Agriculture and Food at The Chicago Council on Global Affairs, where she spearheaded a project that has become one of the leading global contributors to discussions around hunger and food security.  

She holds a Master of Arts degree in security policy studies from George Washington University and a Bachelor of Arts degree in international studies, political science, and Spanish from Bradley University.
