The Commonwealth Fund is pleased to announce that Donald Moulds will join the foundation as its new executive vice president for programs, starting in January 2014.
As acting assistant secretary, and principal deputy assistant secretary, for planning and evaluation in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Moulds has been a chief advisor to administration officials and has overseen an office responsible for policy development and coordination, strategic planning, research, evaluation, and economic analysis. He has also played a significant role in planning and implementing legislation.
"Don Moulds has a track record of successfully bringing innovative policy ideas to fruition, and I know that his experience and good humor will be of enormous value to the Commonwealth Fund in the years to come," Commonwealth Fund President David Blumenthal, M.D., said in a statement.
Moulds will succeed Anthony Shih, M.D., who has served as executive vice president since January 2011. "Tony has played a critical role in seeing the Fund through a leadership transition and a comprehensive strategic review of our programs," said Blumenthal. "His impeccable judgment and ability to manage and motivate teams, as well as his deep knowledge of the health care delivery system, have been invaluable in both of his stints at the Fund, and we wish him only the best in his new pursuits."
