Challenge

The Carter Center is the $300M global human rights organization that Former U.S. President and Nobel Peace Prize winner Jimmy Carter founded to “wage peace, fight disease and build hope.”  The Center works globally to eradicate disease, advance democracy and rule of law and end the stigma of mental illness. Our US partners BoardWalk has conducted a global search for Chief Executive Officer, reaching over 500 leaders on multiple continents.
