Nancy Aossey is President and Chief Executive Officer of the International Medical Corps, an international non-governmental organization dedicated to saving lives and relieving suffering through medical relief, health care training, and development programs that build self-reliance.

Aossey joined International Medical Corps to head up its efforts in 1986, shortly after its founding in 1984. She went on to establish the organization as a leader in medical crisis response and recovery and helped launch International Medical Corps' early humanitarian activities in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Honduras, Nicaragua, Angola, Somalia, Mozambique, Cambodia, Bosnia, Thailand, Rwanda and Kosovo. She has transformed International Medical Corps into one of the largest humanitarian organizations delivering more than $1.4 billion of assistance, health services, and training to tens of missions of people in 70 countries. 

Today, International Medical Corps' 4,500 staff and thousands of volunteers continue to work in the world's most challenging places including low-income, and post-conflict states like Dafur, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Iraq, Syria, and Haili, among others.
