Rear Admiral Tim Ziemer ’68 is a nationally recognized strategist and government and nonprofit executive. With a style that is focused and self-effacing, Tim is widely regarded by major media and the United States government as “one of the most quietly effective leaders in public health.” For the last nine years, he has led the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI), a historic U.S. government initiative to reduce the burden of malaria and help relieve poverty. Since its launch in 2006, PMI has contributed significantly to the Global Health Initiative’s goal of ending preventable child and maternal deaths. In Africa, PMI has helped reduce malaria mortality in children under five by 58 percent.
