Philippa (“Pippa”) Zainoeddin leads strategy development, financial planning, business operations, and evaluation for the foundation’s Philanthropic Partnerships program.

Before joining the foundation, Pippa served as chief of staff in the Community Affairs division of Freeport-McMoRan, a U.S. mining company with operations in Indonesia’s easternmost province of Papua.
