The Rockefeller Foundation announced that David Beasley will serve on its board of trustees starting in June. A former Governor of South Carolina and executive director of United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). He joins as global food systems face mounting strain and humanitarian needs continue to rise. With decades of leadership and experience steering institutions through complex crises, he brings an unmatched record of translating humanitarian urgency into action — from the statehouse to the frontlines of global food crises.
Dr Rajiv J Shah, president of The Rockefeller Foundation, said, "David Beasley has spent decades at the intersection of leadership, crisis response, and global impact. His strategic perspective, dedication to the most vulnerable, and firsthand experience mobilising resources and galvanising international coalitions to address hunger make him an invaluable voice as we work to build more resilient and equitable food systems around the world. We are honoured to welcome him to our board."
"The Rockefeller Foundation has a century-long legacy of tackling humanity's greatest challenges, and I'm deeply honoured to join its Board at such a critical moment. Hunger and food insecurity are not inevitable — they are solvable problems that demand bold leadership and strategic investment. I look forward to contributing to the Foundation's vital work and helping to connect resources, partners, and political will to those who need it most," said Beasley.
