I’m 43 today, and I reckon, starting in 2005 I’m about 43% through my career. Please check out my inaugural for the story of the first 43%, and, from the 43rd minute, what I hope to do in the rest

This is great, though why wait 20 years? There’s a crisis in global health funding right now - why not spend half your wealth funding the shortfalls for GAVI, The Global Fund, PEPFAR, the DHS program, etc right now? .You’d save millions of lives!.

What are the core national interests of the United States these days Marco?.
After a 6 week review we are officially cancelling 83% of the programs at USAID. The 5200 contracts that are now cancelled spent tens of billions of dollars in ways that did not serve, (and in some cases even harmed), the core national interests of the United States. In.
