Ratna Viswanathan has been the CEO of MFIN for the last three years.. She has built a strong Self Regulating Organisation in line with the sector supervision mandate of the RBI and has brought in a strong sense of credibility for the sector as far as the external world is concerned. She has put in place a very valuable property in terms of the international microfinance conclave which is now an annual feature and has enhanced the visibility of the sector.
In the development sector she has served at very senior levels in well-known international NGOs such as Oxfam and VSO. She steered these entities through critical change management processes as they transitioned from international liaison offices to ‘full fledged Indian entities’.
