Karen Ackermann

Administrative Assistant / Office Manager

Ms. Ackermann joined the TB Alliance Africa Office in May 2007 as an Assistant to Research and Development, before moving to the position of Clinical Trial Assistant in July 2011. In 2019 she became the Administrative Assistant/Office Manager. She has experience in Information Technology and, after a 10-year career in the Payroll Software Industry, where she worked mainly in Training, and later in Marketing as a Graphic Design Assistant, decided to move from the corporate sector to the TB Alliance. Ms. Ackermann also spent 2 years in the United Kingdom helping develop an Integrated Health Care Facility in Kentish Town, London, which aims to combine a variety of Primary Health Care Services into a single facility. This facility was completed in 2009, and Ms. Ackermann believes that the experience gained in helping with this project laid the foundation for her decision to devote herself to global health and the non-profit space.
