Chris Welch, Portfolio Director at MSH, has been working in international development at MSH for more than 20 years. Welch has led and managed teams in over 20 countries, including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Malawi, and Rwanda. Starting with MSH after earning his BA in math and astrophysics from Williams College, he cross-trained in most units of the home office, including business development, before taking on a project support role focused purely on Afghanistan in early 2004. Since then, Welch has progressively expanded his role and now oversees over a third of MSH’s program work.
