Chief Executive Officer

Seth Berkley serves as CEO of the GAVI Alliance.
Seth Berkley joined the GAVI Alliance as CEO in August
2011, as it launched its five year strategy to immunise a quarter of a billion
children in the developing world with life-saving vaccines by 2015.
Prior to joining the GAVI Alliance, Seth was the founder,
president and CEO for 15 years of the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative
(IAVI), the first vaccine product development public-private sector
partnership. Under his leadership, IAVI implemented a global advocacy programme
that assured that vaccines received prominent attention in the media and in
forums such as the G 8, EU and the UN.
He also oversaw the creation of a virtual vaccine
product development effort involving industry, academia, and developing country
scientists.
Prior to founding IAVI, Seth served as associate
director in the Health Sciences Division at The Rockefeller Foundation. He has
also worked for the Center for Infectious Diseases of the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Massachusetts Department of Public
Health and for the Carter Center where he served as an epidemiologist at the
Ministry of Health in Uganda.
He has consulted or worked in more than 25 countries
in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
Seth sits on a number of international steering
committees and corporate and not-for-profit boards, including those of Gilead
Sciences, the New York Academy of Sciences and the Acumen Fund.
In the past, he has also served on the boards of
public and private vaccine companies such as PowderJect and VaxInnate and
health and development organisations such as OXFAM America.
He has been featured on the cover of Newsweek,
recognised by TIME magazine as one of the “100 Most Influential People in the
World” and by Wired Magazine as among “The Wired 25 – a salute to dreamers, inventors,
mavericks and leaders.”
Seth received his undergraduate and medical degrees
from Brown University and trained in internal medicine at Harvard University.
