Leader – Health Systems and Supply Chain strengthening

Executive Director

Co-founder and Associate

Philippe has over 25 years of work experience in public health and international development, mainly in the fields of vaccine and immunization. He has extensive experience managing large-scale complex projects in resource-limited settings, interacting with senior government officials and international partners. He has strong analytical skills and is good implementer of innovative and transformational solutions.

Philippe is a health system and supply chain specialist with a large experience in operational and field research, capacity building and human resource development. He recently designed and implemented field research for the development of innovative vaccine delivery technologies in poor settings, some of which have led to WHO recommendations. He established and directed the LOGIVAC center, a training and resource center for health supply chain serving French-speaking countries in Africa. In his previous roles as program manager and technical advisor, Philippe organized technical support to low- and middle-income countries for the introduction of new vaccines and technologies and the strengthening of their health systems and supply chain management. As country representative in West African countries, he led and coordinated the development of country programs and provided the Ministry of health strategic and technical support for the development of health policies and systems and the preparation and response to health emergencies.

Philippe co-awarded the 2014 Gates Vaccine Innovation Award in recognition of his engagement in EPIVAC, an on-the-job training program for district medical officers to improve immunization program performance in 11 Francophone African countries. Since 2016, Philippe has been serving as member of the WHO Delivery Technology Working Group. He served as member of the Gavi Independent review committee from 2014 to 2021.

Philippe holds a Master degree in project development and a University Degree in Public Health.

As co-founder and executive director of EpiLinks, Philippe is responsible for the business development, including definition of the strategy, development of partnerships and acquisition of projects.
