Jonathan draws on broad experience and a driving passion to improve the lives of disadvantaged people and communities. For the London-based Children's Investment Fund Foundation, he managed a $27 million portfolio of child health program grants to such organizations as the Clinton Foundation HIV/AIDS Initiative and the Global AIDS Alliance. As Global Portfolio Manager, he provided strategic guidance to strengthen impact, monitored performance and assessed field operations of programs focused on pediatric HIV treatment throughout Africa and India; prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission in Malawi and Lesotho; health care system strengthening in rural Ethiopia; and maternal/child health advocacy campaigns in six African countries.
In short-and long-term consulting assignments, Jonathan has assessed, documented and advised numerous Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives around the world, including a four-country anti-corruption program for the Merck Foundation, a global supply-chain management initiative for Starbucks Coffee Co. spanning Latin America, Africa and Asia, and a landmark volunteer program supporting capacity-building of African and Asian NGOs for Pfizer Inc.
Many funders and corporations have also relied on Jonathan for management and strategic support. For the Fidelity Investments Foundation, he developed contribution strategies in child health in India and NGO capacity-building in Japan. Pfizer's Asian business unit engaged him to assess the company's relief response to the 2004 Asian tsunami to guide future humanitarian relief strategies. He also assisted the senior management of a global consumer products company in understanding and correcting internal missteps that led to an international advocacy campaign against it.
Jonathan is a former business journalist for Business Week Magazine, which he served as San Francisco Bureau Chief and Paris-based European Technology Correspondent. He won individual or team reporting awards from the
U.S. National Press Awards and the National Computer Press Association. His case studies on international development and CSR issues have been published by the UN Global Compact, Stanford Social Innovation Review, Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship, Ethical Corporation and others.
During the dot.com boom years, Jonathan also had management responsibility for starting up and/or running the editorial operations for news and information websites for AT&T New Media, Lycos, and Delphi Internet--all achieving monthly audience
growth in the double-digits during his tenure. He holds degrees in Political Science and Journalism from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.
