About Seth Berkley

Seth Berkley Biography

Dr. Seth Berkley, a physician, and epidemiologist became the CEO of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, in August 2011 and is in charge of advancing access to new and underutilized vaccinations to safeguard the world's poorest children. In its 15 years of operation, Gavi has already touched half a billion youngsters under his direction. He guided Gavi to its second successful replenishment in 2015, securing US$ 7.5 billion in pledges from donors to help immunize 300 million kids by 2020. Before starting Gavi, Dr. Berkley established the International AIDS Vaccination Initiative (IAVI), the first public-private cooperation for developing vaccine products, in 1996. He oversaw IAVI for 15 years as president and CEO. Under his direction, IAVI established a virtual vaccination product development initiative, including businesses, academics, and scientists from underdeveloped countries, creating and testing vaccines globally. Additionally, he led a worldwide lobbying effort that made sure HIV vaccinations received significant media coverage and attention in organizations like the G-8, European Union, and United Nations. Before this, Dr. Berkley worked at The Rockefeller Foundation as an officer in the Health Sciences Division. He has had positions with the Carter Center, where he served as an epidemiologist at the Ministry of Health in Uganda, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, and the Center for Infectious Diseases of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Dr. Berkley was instrumental in developing Uganda's National AIDS Control initiatives and its national HIV serosurvey. He has been recognized as one of the "100 Most Influential People in the World" by TIME magazine and one of "The Wired 25 - an homage to visionaries, inventors, mavericks, and leaders" by Wired Magazine. He has also been featured on the cover of Newsweek. More than 50 nations in Asia, Africa, and Latin America have hired him as a consultant or employee. Dr. Berkley serves on various business and nonprofit boards and international steering committees, including those of Gilead Sciences, the New York Academy of Sciences, and the Acumen Fund. Seth attended Brown University for his undergraduate studies and medical training before attending Harvard University for his internal medicine residency. Dr. Berkley received an honorary doctorate in 2013 from Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, recognizing his contributions to international public health and the advancement of the universal right to healthcare.
