Today, I’m excited to welcome Chief Legal Officer Lauren Bright, Chief Operating Officer Shana Tarbell, and Chief Human Resources Officer Sonia Vora to @gatesfoundation’s Executive Leadership Team – I look forward to learning from and working with each of you.

At the same time, I would like to recognize and thank our outgoing Chief Operating Officer and Chief Legal Officer, Connie Collingsworth, who leaves a remarkable legacy of more than 20 years of service at the foundation.
