CEO, RESULTS Australia

Ms. Negaya Chorley has 20 years’ experience in human rights. She is passionate about creating spaces for people at the margins to inform policymaking at the local, national, and global level. Negaya has worked with communities in Africa, Asia, and the Pacific Islands towards this aim; bringing together policymakers and representatives from often marginalized groups (women, children, refugees, people living with HIV, and Aboriginal leaders) to collectively shape solutions.

Negaya has led a number of organizations spanning refugees, youth development, and women’s rights in addition to leading UNICEF Australia and Caritas Australia’s policy influencing work. As a passionate believer in values-based leadership, she works hard to carve out and create environments within which staff and colleagues can thrive.

Negaya holds a BA Hons in international development from the University of East Anglia, a Master’s in international development policy from Duke University, and Graduate Certificates in peace and conflict resolution and non-profit leadership from the University of North Carolina.
