Lawrence Ham, MPH CHES

While completing his Masters of Public Health at USC, Lawrence recognized both the wealth of resources as well as the lack of leverage in the nonprofit sector, and launched his first nonprofit. After graduating, he spent a year in Zambia at a NGO that follows the largest heterosexual HIV-discordant couples’ cohort in the world, gaining valuable leadership experience especially working with limited resources. A serial social entrepreneur, Lawrence has a passion for working with vulnerable and underserved populations through creative solutions. One of his greatest passions in global health is catalyzing cross-pollination between different disciplines and sectors to develop sustainable partnerships, redefine paradigms, and combine resources to create unique opportunities while bringing stronger management principles and business strategies to the field.
