Evidence Action is beginning a search for a new CEO, following Kanika Bahl’s announcement that she will transition from the organization after 8 years as CEO. Bahl will remain on Evidence Action’s Board of Directors, where she has served for the past decade.
Kanika has overseen incredible growth across the organization during her tenure: Evidence Action has reached over 530M people in the past decade, unlocking an estimated $23 billion in global productivity and saving thousands of young lives by scaling the most cost-effective, evidence-based programs in global health and development. She has also overseen the building of Evidence Action’s Accelerator - an engine that’s now consistently identifying and scaling interventions like maternal syphilis screening and treatment, already scaled nationwide in Liberia and saving the lives of over 1,000 newborns.
Evidence Action's Board of Directors is leading the search for the next CEO and we encourage individuals who are interested in the role, or who have recommendations, to reach out directly to our Director, Talent Strategy: [email protected]
