She works in close partnership with the Climate and Health team to champion equitable funding and research practices, support meaningful inclusion of affected communities and advance policies that promote equitable access to health solutions.
Since 2018, Haidee has shaped Wellcome’s approach to community engagement, ensuring that those most affected by global health challenges help define the research agendas that impact them. She has led pioneering initiatives such as Centres for Exchange – a coalition with partners across the Global South that is reimagining the role of community knowledge in science and health research.
In her 25-year career, Haidee has worked in design, data and technology, health systems, social enterprise, the creative industries, science and research. Across every role, she has been driven by a commitment to dismantling structural inequity and create opportunities for meaningful participation in change-making. Before joining Wellcome, she led design and innovation teams at Save the Children, Nesta and the Design Council.
