Michael Cipoletti

Executive Director of FNE International

New York born, Boston educated, and living in Nicaragua, Michael Cipoletti is Executive Director of FNE International, a nonprofit organization that is the umbrella organization for Sisters Project Peru. After graduating from Northport high school, Michael obtained his Philosophy/History of Religion degree from Stonehill College, and completed an MBA from Boston University. A 2007 Nicaraguan vacation became a turning point for him, where he decided to stay and devote his life to achieving social justice. Over the course of his 20+ years in the nonprofit space, Michael has developed programs and partners not only in Nicaragua, but also in Peru and Dominican Republic. An avid reader, music loving and vegetarian, he will always be moving around and on the go, drinking black coffee (no sugar) or playing with Fiona, his very special dog.
