- About my work:
- I'm currently Chairman of the Corporate Council on Africa (CCA). Established in 1993, CCA (whose 170 member companies represent some 85 per cent of total U.S. private sector investment in Africa) works closely with governments, multilateral organizations, NGOs and business to improve the trade and investment climate on the African continent and to raise the profile of Africa in the US business community.
I retired at the end of November 2008 as Vice President, Corporate Responsibility, at Merck & Co., Inc., in Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, where I managed a portfolio of activities including Merck’s corporate philanthropy, the Merck Institute for Science Education, the Merck Childhood Asthma Network, global health partnerships (including the Merck MECTIZAN Donation Program), global HIV/AIDS access programs, corporate responsibility reporting and the Merck Archives. I also served as President of The Merck Company Foundation, a US-based, private charitable foundation established in 1957 by Merck & Co., Inc., which is Merck’s chief source of funding support to qualified non-profit, charitable organizations. (In 2007, Merck made cash contributions of $62 million, donations of medicines and vaccines -- including the Merck Medical Outreach Program and the MECTIZAN Donation Program -- of $605 million, and donations of medicines through the Merck Patient Assistance Program of $161 million.)
