Background

About Marissa H.

I'm the Partnerships Director on Dimagi's US Health team, where I lead strategy and implementation for digital health solutions in partnership with government agencies, health systems, and community-based organizations. I’ve spent the last eight years managing complex public health projects from early-stage pilots to large-scale systems, while also mentoring teams, building strong cross-functional partnerships, and helping translate real-world needs into practical, impactful tech. My background includes five years of professional and educational experience in India, where navigating complex systems and resource constraints deepened my understanding of what it takes to build trust, adapt solutions to real-world contexts, and center the lived experience of communities in systems design. Before transitioning to systems-level digital transformation work, my earlier career focused on direct service and research, supporting survivors of human trafficking, gender-based violence, and commercial sexual exploitation of children. At the core of my work is a belief in the power of mission-aligned technology to improve lives and systems. I bring a people-first, delivery-minded approach to everything I do - whether building partnerships, managing projects, or mentoring teams.
