“Outsourcing vaccine logistics is not

Craig began his career in global health and economic development at the investment bank Lehman Brothers, where he was a member of the firm’s global pharmaceuticals practice. From Lehman Brothers in Tokyo, Craig focused primarily on Japanese pharma companies, but also covered drug, food, and nutrition companies throughout Asia. Craig’s investment banking experience centered on fundamental company analysis, corporate finance, and derivative finance. In 1999, Craig joined Teledesic, a global satellite venture started by Craig McCaw and Bill Gates, to bridge the digital divide by enabling broadband communications anywhere in the world. Beyond his daytime duties of strategy and corporate development at Teledesic, Craig helped his colleague Blaise Judja-Sato with his vision of bringing essential health services to the poor in Africa and beyond. Blaise later founded VillageReach in 2000, and Craig joined him in 2001. As VillageReach’s Acting President, Craig has grown the organization from a venture of two people in Seattle to an organization of 40 with five offices in two countries. Craig has an MBA from the University of Chicago and a BA from the Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington. |
