About Me: Patrick Fine is currently Chief Executive Officer of FHI 360, a non-profit human development organization dedicated to improving lives in lasting ways by advancing integrated, locally driven solutions. FHI 360 works across twelve practice areas—health, education, nutrition, environment, economic development, civil society, integrated development, communication and social marketing, gender, youth, research and technology – to offer customized and evidence-based responses to development challenges.

Before joining FHI 360 in 2013, Patrick served as the Vice President for Compact Operations at the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), where he helped to shape non-traditional approaches to U.S. bilateral assistance through his oversight of large-scale investment partnerships with 24 countries. From 2006 to 2010, he was Senior Vice President of the Global Learning Group at the Academy for Educational Development (AED).

As a career member of the Foreign Service at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Patrick served as the Senior Deputy Assistant Administrator in the Africa Bureau and Mission Director in Afghanistan, where he led the rapid expansion of U.S. assistance for reconstruction and development.
Patrick began his career in international development as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Swaziland, where he gained a first-hand appreciation for the importance of integrating issues such as education, health, economic development and governance. His experience living and working in a rural African community continues to inform and inspire him today. Patrick is a frequent speaker on international development and in 2018 is hosting a podcast series, A Deeper Look, which uses issues in crisis response as the foundation for wide-ranging conversations with journalists, government officials, business leaders, policymakers, practitioners and courageous citizens around the world.
