Anna Strillacci

Anna Strillacci is a director on the Business and Program Development team at the Milken Institute. She brings two decades of experience spanning financial services and global nonprofit leadership, a career shaped by range rather than a single track. She built her early career in institutional finance, working across capital markets and distribution roles, before moving into mission-driven work, where she now leads Business and Program Development for the Milken Institute in Europe, supporting the Institute’s fundraising and programmatic work across the region. Each transition has sharpened her expertise, building a rare fluency in how capital, institutions, and people move together, as well as the credibility to engage investors, asset owners, and philanthropists on their own terms. A multilingual strategic thinker, she is known for spotting patterns and opportunities others miss, coordinating people and resources flexibly across teams and borders, tailoring her approach to the specific needs of each partner or stakeholder, and driving ideas through to execution with focus and follow-through. That combination of financial depth, cross-sector adaptability, and genuine curiosity about people is what she brings to mobilizing capital toward greater impact.
