Experience

Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

• United States
• Non-profit Organizations
• 700 & Above Employee

• Deputy Director, Giving Opportunities & Gates Philanthropy Partners

  • Aug 2018 - Present

  I lead a team that works directly with philanthropists to support their giving. Where donor interests align with those of the foundation, we facilitate partnerships, co-funding, and matchmaking. I also lead Gates Philanthropy Partners, a public charity that allows donors—at any level—to give alongside the foundation to support its priority issues.

• Senior Program Officer - Innovative Donor Models and Gates Philanthropy Partners

  • Jan 2013 - Jul 2018

  I led a team that develops partnerships to scale up funding for innovations and programs that save and improve lives in the poorest parts of the world. In 2016, I launched Gates Philanthropy Partners, a public charity for people interested in co-funding strong, vetted programs alongside the foundation.

• Program Officer, Private Donor Engagement and Middle East Outreach

  • Aug 2011 - Jan 2013

  I developed strategies and key relationships to build the foundation's presence in the Middle East and mobilize private donors worldwide. This led to the Global Vaccine Summit in 2013 in the UAE, co-hosted by Bill Gates, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, and UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, raising $4 billion to end polio.

• Associate Program Officer

  • Sep 2010 - Sep 2011

  I developed advocacy strategies--including an early approach for neglected tropical and other infectious diseases--with a focus on building constituencies, mobilizing resources from governments and philanthropy, and identifying and creating new organizations such as the END Fund.

• Project Manager, Global Health

  • Jul 2008 - Sep 2010

  Special projects focused on philanthropy, grantee fundraising, the Middle East, and a relationship management framework.
