UNICEF's Board of Directors announced that Michael J. Nyenhuis has been selected as the organization's new president and CEO. The announcement follows the departure of Caryl Stern earlier this month. Nyenhuis will take up his new position on 30 March 2020.
Before becoming president and CEO of Americares, a position he has held since 2014, Nyenhuis was CEO of the global nonprofit MAP International for 13 years. A former journalist with a passion for global health, he previously served on USAID's Advisory Committee on Voluntary Foreign Aid and chaired the board of the Integral Alliance, a global network of faith-based NGOs. He also currently serves on the board of InterAction, the largest coalition of U.S.-based relief and development organizations working internationally, and the leadership council at Concordia, an organization and forum that promotes cross-sector partnerships for social impact. A Minnesota native, Nyenhuis holds a Masters in Business Administration from Emory University and Bachelor of Arts in Urban Studies and Communications from University of Wisconsin Green Bay.
