Background

About Eric Ekman

The challenges I’m most passionate about are multi determined public health problems—issues that don’t have simple solutions but require thoughtful, innovative, and evidence-based approaches. In my work, I take pride in breaking things down into understandable pieces, meeting people where they are in terms of their capabilities. Everyone deserves access to knowledge, and I’m driven by the idea that information is power—when it’s shared correctly, it leads to growth, empowerment, and positive change. With strong communication skills, a proven ability to work autonomously, and a relentless drive as a self-starter, I’ve managed to lead and contribute to several high-impact projects. While I value the importance of independence in my work, I also recognize the importance of collaboration and believe the best solutions are often forged through teamwork and shared insight. At the end of the day, I am committed to building not just projects, but people—whether it’s mentoring colleagues, spearheading public health initiatives, or tackling new challenges. My ultimate goal is to leave a lasting positive impact on the world and the people I work with.
