The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation today named Harvey Fineberg, a prominent public- health leader and former Harvard University provost, as its new president after a tumultuous year for one of the nation’s largest grant makers.
The conservation, public health, and science philanthropy controls about $6.4-billion in assets.
"I accepted this position because I deeply believe the work we will do together — the investments in people, ideas, programs, and places—can have an enormously positive impact in the world," Dr. Fineberg wrote in an email.
