Gunilla Carlsson is UNAIDS new deputy executive director for management and governance. She currently serves as senior advisor to the African Development Bank and vice chair in the board of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.
UNAIDS Executive Director Michel Sidibé said of Carlsson: “Gunilla Carlsson is known for her dynamic leadership and deep knowledge of the issues … She is not a business-as-usual leader.” During her time as Sweden’s minister for international development cooperation from 2006 to 2013, Carlsson introduced reforms in Sweden’s foreign aid program, including at SIDA, to promote cost efficiencies, address corruption, and boost the profile of the government’s development cooperation work.
