Speaker: Anne Healy (MPA/ID '12), Managing Director of Development Innovation Ventures (DIV), USAID
Anne leads Development Innovation Ventures (DIV) at USAID, the Agency's evidence-based social innovation fund. She has worked across the private, public, and social sectors on evidence and innovation in government and international development.
As a consultant at McKinsey & Co., she advised Fortune 500 companies, federal and state government entities, multilateral organizations, and philanthropies on strategy, organizational change, and operations, with a focus on economic development and crisis response and recovery. Anne was part of the senior leadership team that established the Innovations for Poverty Action operation in Kenya, where she also oversaw randomized controlled trials in the water and sanitation sector with leading development economists from Harvard and Berkeley. Most recently, as Senior Advisor at the State Department, Anne advised Deputy Secretary Heather Higginbottom on global health security and innovation in Department operations and management.
DIV recruits graduate student summer interns, so this would be a useful opportunity for students starting to consider internship options to hear about an exciting opportunity in the public sector.
