PATH announced that Steve Davis was appointed president and CEO, noting that Mr. Davis “brings leadership experience in numerous innovation-focused organizations, both nonprofit and for-profit, and has worked extensively in emerging economies throughout his career.” He comes to PATH most recently from McKinsey & Company, where he was global director of social innovation. Dr. Molly Joel Coye, chair of PATH’s board of directors, said, “We are delighted to have Steve bring his extensive global health and development expertise and insight to PATH. Steve brings a history with PATH as a previous board member and is a proven innovator and versatile leader with a longstanding commitment to social change. His deep knowledge of health needs in the developing world and impressive accomplishments in creating solutions tailored for the communities where PATH works immediately stood out among our extraordinarily high-caliber pool of applicants.” Mr. Davis commented, “I have long admired PATH for its spirit of innovation and its tremendous strides in addressing inequities and saving lives around the world. My work always has been fueled by a passion for creating genuine social impact with leading-edge innovations, and I am honored to join such a prominent and effective organization, to continue PATH’s powerful work in global health, and to advance the delivery of sustainable impact.” PATH noted that Mr. Davis will oversee an annual budget of US$305 million, a staff of nearly 1,200, and a robust portfolio of projects based in PATH offices in 22 countries.
