Our origins in sexual and reproductive health have grown into a broader mission. Today, we work with the public and private sectors as well as local communities, prioritizing people’s voice and choice and developing solutions to meet their essential health needs. Over the past five decades, we have helped push boundaries, break taboos, set trends, and develop innovative solutions to complex global health challenges.

Population Services International (PSI) and the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) have co-created a parent company called HealthX Partners Incorporated (HXP), under which they and other health NGOs and businesses can achieve greater impact while delivering efficiencies and greater value for consumers, clients, host governments, stakeholders, and the global health sector. This bold new initiative creates new opportunities for leadership at the level of the wholly-owned subsidiaries of HXP, specifically PSI.

This role oversees PSI's global project delivery teams and technical health areas, ensuring the effective scaling of PSI's impact worldwide. The President plays a central role in delivering value to our funders, government partners, and health consumers. As a member of HXP’s executive leadership team, the President drives PSI's success by developing operational plans, monitoring progress, and serving as a motivating force for the dispersed and diverse global talent base of the organization.  The President also helps to steer the evolution of HXP as a new structure for value, impact, and growth in the global health sector.
