About Michael Mahar
I am a senior global health leader focused on turning scientific insight into coordinated, large-scale impact. As Deputy Director for Global Health Integration & Coordination at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, I lead enterprise-wide strategic alignment across the agency\'s global health portfolio. My work centers on ensuring that complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives move from policy ambition to operational execution — especially in environments defined by uncertainty, risk, and cross-agency complexity. Over the course of my career, I have: • Led cross-center and interagency strategy development and implementation• Built governance structures that align headquarters priorities with field execution• Directed large funding allocation processes and performance monitoring systems• Facilitated senior-level decision processes under compressed timelines• Integrated scientific, diplomatic, and operational perspectives into coherent action I am particularly drawn to roles that require systems thinking, strategic integration, and coalition building across organizational boundaries. I thrive where science, policy, and execution intersect. My core focus: building durable systems that enable complex organizations to act decisively.Interested in enterprise-level roles at the intersection of science, policy, and global systems.
