CEPI (Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations)’s Post

“It’s important to work with people that have had a range of life experiences. People that have confronted problems in different ways and solved them. You need to be able to bring all of that decision-making power to bear. In my own experience, more diverse teams make better decisions.” As we come to the end of #Pridemonth 🌈, celebrating LGBTQIA communities all around the world, hear from two global health leaders at CEPI as they share their inspiring personal stories and experiences of working in global health, including their careers and backgrounds to date and their beliefs and drive that got them to where they are today. As part of Nuclear Threat Initiative’s Diverse Voices in Global Biosecurity, Andrew Hebbeler, Ph.D., CEPI’s inaugural Director of Biosecurity at CEPI and former Senior Director of Global Biological Policy and Programs at NTI, discusses the importance of diversity in biosecurity work and how he views his personal leadership style: https://lnkd.in/emnbGRTP Our Head of Strategy, Mark Lucera, also discusses his journey in the health security field and driving inclusive change as part of the US Out In National Security ‘2024 Out Leader Series’. “Being out allows me to bring my authentic self to personal and professional life and strive to understand and listen to marginalized populations who may be threatened by infectious diseases…Compared to the start of my career, I’ve come to appreciate how people and personalities drive change.”: https://lnkd.in/em7kMc-h 🌈 Happy Pride! 🌈
