Mr. Mayberry is a results-oriented leader with twenty years of global management experience in the government, private and non-profit sectors.  He has lived and worked in the developing world for more than a decade and is adept at delivering health products and services to the poorest communities in some of the most remote areas of the world.

Prior to joining FXB International as its Chief Executive Officer in 2011, Mr. Mayberry was the Chief Operating Officer for VisionSpring, a social enterprise which provides affordable eyeglasses to low-income populations in Africa and Asia.  At VisionSpring, Mr. Mayberry was responsible for leading all aspects of the organization, including directly managing a partnership with BRAC that is providing hundreds of thousands of eyeglasses to rural populations throughout Bangladesh.  He also directed the development of several new business models, which are moving VisionSpring to financial sustainability and expanded impact.

Mr. Mayberry also worked for Population Services International (PSI), a leading global health and social marketing organization.  In his eight years with PSI, he served as the Country Director for India from 2007-2009 and as Country Representative for the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and the Republic of Congo from 2003-2007. Mr. Mayberry also created an internal funding mechanism to encourage innovation across 60 PSI country programs; the fund provided seed capital to scale the most promising interventions developed by field staff.

In India, Mr. Mayberry directed a team of 1,500 people with an annual budget of more than $35 million.  He led the PSI implementation of “CONNECT,” an $8 million project funded by USAID, which developed new private-public partnerships for Indians afflicted with HIV/AIDS including creating India’s first group private health insurance program for people living with the disease. He also oversaw the management of the PSI $35 million “Avahan” program for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which involved the delivery of services in management and treatment of sexually transmitted infections in areas with high prevalence of HIV. In his four years in the DRC, Mr. Mayberry scaled the PSI platform: expanding the annual operating budget from $5 million to $15 million, tripling the program’s health impact, and establishing offices in all 11 provinces amidst a challenging security situation.

Prior to his work for PSI, Mr. Mayberry worked for more than five years in operations management for the Intel Corporation in the US and the Philippines.
