Bryan Molk has over 10 years of experience in global development and social impact, co-designing solutions and training local leaders to advance and scale programs in public health, education, social inclusion, digital development, and climate change. He is an expert in design thinking and open innovation, specializing in design sprints, co-creation workshops, scaling capabilities, and innovation lab roll-outs.

Before joining Spring Impact, Bryan worked at Chemonics International’s Impact Lab, managing innovation functions such as technical assistance, training, and upskilling, and corporate enterprise strategy across 10,000 staff in 90 countries. He implemented over $1.7B in USAID projects, co-designed and launched the Scale Accelerator program and Solutions Exchange platform, trained 500+ staff in design thinking, and led strategy initiatives in Colombia, Rwanda, Tunisia, South Africa, India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.

Earlier, Bryan worked with Population Services International in Ethiopia on the “Smart Start” family planning program. There, he partnered with IDEO.org and local government officials to design and test a leaner service package, later scaled nationally by the Ethiopian Ministry of Health, reaching over 1 million young married girls with modern contraception. He began his career with the U.S. Peace Corps in Ethiopia, delivering programs in English education and HIV/AIDS prevention, and later supported World Education’s Bantwana Initiative in Zimbabwe, Eswatini, and Uganda, helping entities transition to locally owned operations.
