Speaker: Deborah Dugan
Chief Executive Officer, (RED)
“My goal at (RED) is to move fast and innovate. Traditionally, it has been the business sector that owned the market on product and service innovation. (RED) uses a disruptive approach in philanthropy to make it simple for everyone to play an active role in ending AIDS.”
In 2011, Deborah Dugan joined (RED) as the chief executive officer and has solidified its identity both as a nonprofit and as a brand—one which is purposefully provocative and impact obsessed. Partners include Apple, Beats by Dre, The Coca-Cola Company, Salesforce, Bank of America, and Latin America’s Claro and Telcel networks, among many others. To date, (RED) has raised more than $465 million for the Global Fund and impacted the lives of more than 70 million people.
