Brad Herbert
Interim CEO
Brad Herbert, MBA, has more than 40 years of experience in international development with a focus in the social sectors, including health and education.
Brad worked with the World Bank for 27 years and spent the majority of his tenure based in developing countries, learning firsthand the value of country-led partnerships. In 2002, he left the World Bank to help establish the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDs, TB and Malaria. At the Global Fund, Brad was the Chief of Operations, with the equivalent rank of Assistant Secretary General at the World Health Organization. While at the Global Fund, he was directly responsible for putting in place the operational policies and the management team responsible for delivering the Global Fund’s multi-billion-dollar grant program in over 130 countries.
Brad has also spent many years serving on and chairing boards for international not-for-profit organizations. He chaired the board of Mothers 2 Mothers, a not-for-profit organization based in Cape Town and in 2017 was asked by the new Deputy Secretary General of the UN to take over as Co-Chair of the Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council, a UN organization based in Geneva. Brad has managed major changes in management processes and helped to restructure several organizations.
As a result of these years of development experience and leadership roles, Brad brought to HBGI a practical, results-oriented approach to program policy, development, and accelerated program implementation.
