 ajiv J. Shah brings over twenty years of experience in business\, governme
 nt\, and philanthropy to The Rockefeller Foundation.  Appointed as USAID
  Administrator by President Obama in 2009\, Dr. Shah was charged with resh
 aping the $20 billion agency’s operations to provide greater assistance 
 to pressing development challenges around the globe. By elevating the impo
 rtance of innovation\, promoting public-private partnerships\, rethinking 
 internal practices\, and shifting how dollars were spent to deliver strong
 er results\, Shah secured bipartisan support that enabled USAID to dramati
 cally accelerate its work to end extreme poverty. Two significant Presiden
 tial priorities – Feed the Future and Power Africa – passed the House 
 and Senate with bipartisan support and were signed into law by President O
 bama\, and the Global Food Security Act is the second largest global devel
 opment legislation after PEPFAR.  Shah’s work delivered results for co
 untries facing democratic transitions\, post-conflict situations\, and hum
 anitarian crises\, and is widely credited with providing life-saving acces
 s to food\, health\, and water for millions of children across the planet.

 he University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine\, and the Wharton School 
 of Business.  Prior to his appointment at USAID\, Shah served as Chief S
 cientist and Undersecretary for Research\, Education and Economics at the 
 United States Department of Agriculture.  He also served in a number of 
 leadership roes at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation\, where he helped l
 aunch the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (a joint venture by th
