Julia brings strategy and research chops to organizations working at the intersection of global health and social change. She spent five years at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, where she managed an $85M grants portfolio focused on behavior change and information access — everything from self-help groups to innovative communications models. Before that, she worked with the Clinton Health Access Initiative in Liberia and Jamaica, and with a University of Washington/Microsoft Research team exploring how low-cost technologies shift behavior.

Julia studied Microbiology and International Studies at UW and has taken executive coursework at Cambridge Business School. In 2012, the Tallberg Foundation named her an Emerging Global Leader — an experience that deepened her thinking in design and systems.

Fiona designs and evaluates the strategies, programs, and partnerships that move the needle in global health and development — and she's been doing it for nearly 20 years. Her work spans strategic and operational planning, monitoring and evaluation, and learning, with a track record that includes serving as Executive Managing Director at Last Mile Health, where she led the organization through a pivotal shift from rapid to strategic growth.

Before that, she worked with the Clinton Health Access Initiative's Applied Analytics Team, helping ministries of health across a dozen countries untangle bottlenecks and build the evidence base for national policy. She started her career at Doctors Without Borders USA, running a $60M direct marketing program. Fiona holds dual Masters degrees in Public Health (Epidemiology) and International Affairs from Columbia University.
