2022 was a year of growth. Pure Earth programs doubled in size, enabling us to expand our focus on lead and mercury in the most impacted countries.
As a result of this expansion, long-time Pure Earth officer Drew McCartor, who most recently served as Vice President for Strategy and Partnerships, moved into the role of Executive Director in the Fall of 2022. Drew is working closely with Pure Earth President Richard Fuller to continue growing Pure Earth’s impact.
Pure Earth also added experts to the team: Gabriel Sanchez Ibarra, our new Vice President for Programs, came to us from Doctors Without Borders, where he headed the emergency response unit after a career in humanitarian, developmental and environmental programs in more than 25 countries; Dr. Stephan Boese-O´Reilly, an expert in addressing lead and mercury exposures in children, joined as Senior Technical Director; while world-renowned physician-scientist-epidemiologist Dr. Howard Hu, a member of Physicians for Human Rights (Nobel Peace Prize, 1997), joined our board.
Here is a look back at highlights from a productive year.
