Program leaders

Our global program leaders and country program leaders hail from all corners of the globe and from both the public sector and industry. Many are experts on specific diseases, and others offer expertise in the fields of immunization, maternal and child health, reproductive health, technology development, and vaccine development. They are responsible for program strategies, fundraising, and implementation.
