Today, Busara celebrates a significant milestone as Francis Meyo steps in as our new CEO. Francis joined Busara in 2016 as an Engagement Director before rising to the previous VP role, serving under James Vancel and Chaning Jang. As VP, he led Busara’s health portfolio where he focused on projects across sexual and reproductive health, digital health platforms, and innovative demand-creation strategies. Congratulations Francis!
