Karen E. Buckley, Executive Director, CTO, and NHTIC Director
Karen Buckley brings over two decades of professional experience and passion to the Just Ask Trafficking Prevention Foundation. She has a distinguished career in business development with a focus on building IT systems as well as training and technical assistance program delivery. Ms. Buckley first learned of human trafficking while working on a program which leveraged artificial intelligence and robotic process automation for innovative solutions. Immediately seeing the potential to enhance the fight against human trafficking, she sought out and took on the role of Director of Development with the Foundation. Fighting human trafficking has become a personal and professional mission for Karen who has been drawn in by a desire to help the most vulnerable in our communities. Due to Karen’s leadership and vision, she was selected to fill the role of Executive Director when her predecessor resigned to take on a position with the US Department of Justice. Ms. Buckley pursues an aggressive approach to taking the Foundation to the next level where she leads a team of dedicated professionals in the development and deployment of ground-breaking approaches to combatting human trafficking. Ms. Buckley leverages her years of experience and strategic mindset to fulfill the mission of the Foundation – to foster partnerships with communities in the U.S. and abroad to abolish human trafficking through education, prevention, and intervention. Under her leadership the Foundation has become a global leader in mobilizing communities to end human trafficking and exploitation.
