Works Broken - Epidemiology & Next Steps for Covid19 - Dan Mackie - Episode 9 by Work's Broken with Niall O'Carroll published on 2020-06-14T20:19:40Z Dan Mackie is an active-duty military veteran who then went on to serve in equatorial Africa as a Peace Corps Volunteer [Gabon ’98-’00 and Kenya ’01]. Dan has been called upon to serve internationally and domestically in some of the world’s most challenging environments and public health crises. His unique skill set of planning/operations and logistics, paired with his experience and expertise in applied epidemiology and disease case investigation, have been sought by the government sector and private sector partners alike. Mr. Mackie is currently serving as a consultant to multi-national corporations as they adapt their business models to succeed within the post-SARS CoV-2 reality; as well as to state-level governments as they take on the realities of dealing with a global pandemic in the midst of ongoing staffing shortages and reduced funding. From Ministers of Health in overseas assignments, to state governors/county-level health officers here in the U.S., Mr. Mackie’s calm and thoughtful approach to tackling emerging public health crises is a special skillset in these challenging times. Genre Business Comment by gail itschner I recently had the opportunity to speak with Dan, by chance, at a winery. He’s a very intense guy- utterly brilliant, and fascinating. As I listen to this interview from 2020, he was still hopeful. I would love to hear him interviewed now, in 2022. 2022-02-06T01:42:04Z
