Director of Programs

Miho Kito serves as Programs Director at the Center for Systems Awareness, where she has helped cultivate global learning communities, support program design, and advance the practice of Compassionate Systems Awareness. Her professional background spans banking, startup management including IPO experience, and consulting in organizational development and strategic human resource management. Across these roles, she has developed a distinctive perspective at the intersection of human development, education, leadership, organizational learning, and systems change. At the Center, she has helped lead and support nearly 10,000 practitioners across more than 60 countries.

Originally from Japan, Miho holds a Bachelor’s degree in Human Developmental Science (B.Ed.) and a Master of Science in Organizational Leadership (M.S.). She is deeply interested in bridging scholarly insight and lived practice. Guided by a genuine curiosity about learning, her vision is to contribute to a world in which everyone can unlock their potential and live with joy and a sense of mattering, regardless of their environment or circumstances beyond their control.

In recent years, building on nearly a decade of global practice, Miho has increasingly focused on translating ideas across cultural and educational contexts, cultivating local communities of practice in Japan, and creating learning spaces that connect Japanese and global perspectives.

In 2026, Miho also joins Harvard University as a Visiting Research Associate, where she explores systems change through a social science lens.
