Dana Boggess
Program Officer, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
Dana Boggess leads a nascent portfolio of programme-related investments for the foundation’s Agricultural Development initiative, and oversees a handful of grants connecting smallholder farmers to export markets. After starting her career in strategy consulting for the high tech sector, she ran off to Cambodia to organise women’s saving groups. When she realised the private sector had a role to play in solving social challenges, Dana went back to school to get a master’s in Economic Development and Finance.
