Jessica Katz (PHTM '14, PHTM *15)

Jessica is the Founder & CEO of The Partnership Lab, where she helps public, private, development, and philanthropic actors design and deliver cross-sector partnerships for health and business impact. With over more than a decade working at the intersection of global health and the private sector, Jessica has advised companies, multilaterals, and foundations on partnership strategy, stakeholder engagement, and market-shaping initiatives. As a Partner at Rabin Martin, a global health consultancy, Jessica led a multi-million-dollar portfolio of private sector clients, including leading pharmaceutical and technology companies. In this role, she counseled senior executives on global health strategy and partnership design, building deep expertise in how companies evaluate global investments and make decisions under commercial, political, and reputational constraints. More recently, Jessica worked inside the multilateral system at Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, where she joined the Private Sector Partnerships & Innovation team and led private sector fundraising efforts during a pivotal strategic period for the organization. In this role, she helped shape and operationalize how Gavi engages companies and private philanthropies by defining business-aligned / mission-aligned value propositions, introducing more deliberate targeting and engagement approaches, and translating Gavi’s mandate into executive-ready narratives that resonated with key decision-makers. This experience provided first-hand insight into how multilateral organizations operate, as well as the structural and operational barriers that can make private sector engagement complex—highlighting where traditional partnership models often struggle to convert corporate interest into sustained commitment and investment. Jessica founded The Partnership Lab to bridge these worlds. Drawing on experience on both sides of the table, se launched the Lab in response to a changing global health landscape—one defined by constrained public funding, increased competition for private sector resources, and growing demand for partnerships that move beyond alignment to execution. The Partnership Lab helps organizations translate public mandates into business-relevant propositions, reduce friction for private sector engagement, and build partnership models that are practical, credible, and built to deliver results and improve public health impact in low and middle income countries.
