Raj Kumar Biography

Raj Kumar leads the helm at Devex as the President and Editor-in-Chief, an independent news organization with a specific lens on global development. His expertise and thoughtful perspectives have been woven into his book, "The Business of Changing the World", where he deftly discusses the future of global aid and philanthropy. Kumar's background in politics, including his time as a political director and press advance team member for the Clinton White House, further contributes to his broad and insightful view on world affairs and the dynamics of change.

Apart from his leadership role at Devex and his political background, Kumar holds a number of significant roles in global organizations. He is a member of the esteemed Council on Foreign Relations and an independent trustee of Save the Children. His reach extends to the World Economic Forum where he serves as a media leader, and his advisory skills are sought after by organizations such as the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) and Harvard Public Health magazine.

Throughout his career, Kumar has been able to converse with numerous global luminaries, discussing important challenges that impact our world today. This experience, coupled with his education from Georgetown's School of Foreign Service, makes him a trusted voice in the global development landscape. As a sought-after speaker and panel moderator, Kumar continues to engage audiences with his deep understanding of global development and his vision for a better future.
