President and Incoming CEO

Fistula Foundation
Appointment of President & Incoming CEO

At Fistula Foundation, we believe that no woman should live a life
of misery and isolation, simply for trying to bring a child into
the world. We strive every day to end the suffering of women
injured in childbirth — and to ensure that no woman is left
behind.

We have a vision to bring the suffering caused by fistula to an end
in all countries where this condition persists today. We call
this vision In It to End It. In early 2023, Fistula
Foundation launched a five-year, $110 million plan that will
accelerate progress toward this vision. Under this plan, we will
reach and serve women with obstetric fistula on a scale that equals
the urgency of their suffering. From 2023 to 2027, Fistula
Foundation will expand the provision of life-transforming surgeries
in more than 20 countries, while also building the infrastructure
needed to make the scourge of fistula a relic of the past.

Today, we seek to appoint a deeply experienced, globally minded
leader who will zealously drive revenue growth in support of this
ambitious plan. This leader will relish the challenge of finding
and tapping new sources of financial support for our mission to
eradicate the suffering caused by fistula.

Fistula Foundation operates essentially as a bridge: a span that
connects generous donors, on one side, to dedicated partners that
deliver fistula surgeries to women in need, on the other side. Our
success on the fundraising side—powered by energetic
leadership—enables transformative healing on the program
side.

In connection with the planned retirement of current CEO Kate Grant
in 2024, the Foundation is seeking a President who will work
alongside the outgoing CEO, Board, and staff to ensure a smooth
transition, culminating in the President assuming the role of
CEO.

The President is a new position that will provide the leadership to
catalyze robust revenue growth in order to achieve the Foundation’s
ambition to end—within a generation—the suffering caused by
fistula. In collaboration with the Board, the current CEO, and
dedicated team members, the President will lead the Foundation’s
fundraising, communications, and operating strategy with the goal
of generating new financial resources from donors across all giving
levels. The President will empower a talented team and nurture an
entrepreneurial internal culture, while continuing to build the
Foundation’s capacity to support its partners and the
disenfranchised communities they serve.

We are seeking a proven, dynamic, and entrepreneurial leader
with demonstrable experience of driving revenue growth. You
will bring proven experience inspiring a highly capable, diverse,
and geographically dispersed team and the strategic leadership
skills to drive our future mission and strategy. You will bring a
deep commitment to the need to alleviate human suffering and
improve the lives of disadvantaged and vulnerable women throughout
the world.

fulfill the role description and personal specification to Perrett Laver’s

The role will be based in San Jose, California. Fistula

comprehensive benefits package, including health insurance, a 403b

to confront complex challenges and to succeed in its mission. The
Foundation considers gender equality to be a fundamental human
