"Julian Lob-Levyt is a visionary leader, a gifted manager, and a proven
force for innovation in development," said DAI President and CEO James
Boomgard. "His addition to the DAI team represents an infusion of fresh
strategic insight, technical knowledge, and professional contacts that will
measurably accelerate our drive to become a truly global development
organization. We are delighted to welcome him on board."

Dr. Lob-Levyt currently heads the Geneva, Switzerland-based GAVI
Alliance, a public-private global health partnership created in 2000 to
increase access to immunization for children in the world's poorest
countries. Since 2000, more than 256 million children have been vaccinated
and 5.4 million premature deaths averted thanks to GAVI-funded programs.

Before joining GAVI in 2005, Dr. Lob-Levyt served as Senior Policy
Adviser to the UNAIDS Executive Director, and prior to that he served for
five years with the U.K. Department for International Development, as Chief
Human Development Adviser (covering health, education, and social protection)
and as Chief Health and Population Adviser. Previous assignments include
senior positions with the World Health Organization and the European
Commission. Dr. Lob-Levyt has held long-term overseas postings in Zimbabwe,
Cambodia, Bangladesh, and the Solomon Islands.

"DAI is a world-class organization with a rock-solid commitment to the
mission of international development," Dr. Lob-Levyt said. "In joining the
firm, I look forward to bringing the full range of my experience to bear-both
on the human development issues DAI is tackling around the world, and on the
strategic expansion DAI is undertaking to better serve its global clients."

As Managing Director of DAI Europe, reporting directly to Dr. Boomgard,
Dr. Lob-Levyt will be an integral part of the DAI leadership team and a
prominent ambassador for the firm. In addition to managing the London office
and overseeing the expansion of DAI's portfolio with European clients, he
will play a leading role in the formulation and execution of DAI's global
strategy.

"We wish Julian every success in his new role and thank him for his great
contribution as CEO of the GAVI Alliance," said Mary Robinson, GAVI Alliance
Board Chair and former President of Ireland. "Over nearly six years, Julian
has overseen steady growth in the GAVI Secretariat, the change in our
governance structure, a significant increase in funding despite a difficult
economic climate, and most importantly, improved health for millions of
children in the developing world who have benefited from vaccines funded by
GAVI."
