Jeffrey Sturchio Named Council’s CEO
May 26, 2009
 On May 26, 2009, at the 36th Annual International Conference, Global Health Council Board of Directors Chair Susan Dentzer announced that Jeffrey L. Sturchio has been named the president and CEO of the Council. Sturchio is a longtime leader at Merck & Co. whose quiet diplomacy led to programs treating more than 100,000 AIDS patients in Botswana as well as protecting millions of Africans from river blindness.
Sturchio worked for nearly two decades at Merck, starting as the company’s first corporate archivist and ending last year as vice president, corporate responsibility, as well as president of The Merck Company Foundation. In his last position, he managed the company’s philanthropic efforts, including the Merck Mectizan Donation Program and its global HIV/AIDS access programs. Sturchio, 56, of Martinsville, N.J., succeeds the Council’s former president and CEO, Nils Daulaire, who stepped down in February 2009 after leading the organization for a decade. The Council, which was created in 1972, is the world’s largest membership alliance dedicated to saving lives by improving health around the globe.
