Our Leadership
Water For People’s work equipping communities around the world with lasting access to water and sanitation services requires deep-rooted collaboration on the ground, with business and nonprofit partners, and at all levels of government.
Collaborations are embedded in everything we do – even our organizational leadership.


CEO Mark Duey’s hands-on experience living in Honduras and working on sustainable WASH access now informs his global perspective on leading teams across nine countries. Mark leads alongside the Global Leadership Team, with seven team members representing the regions where Water For People works.
From civil engineering, economics, environmental policy, finance, law, market systems development, community service, and private and public sector development, the Global Leadership Team brings extensive experience and knowledge to their strategic decision-making.
Together, we are pursuing climate resilient sustainable water, sanitation, and hygiene services for everyone alongside governments, entrepreneurs, teachers, community leaders, and strategic partners.
Ultimately, we hope to inspire the collaboration that’s needed around the world to close the gap for the over 2 billion people who still lack water by 2030.
