NEW DELHI: The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation on Wednesday appointed a board of trustees, naming four new members to help strengthen the foundation’s governance by inducting independent and diverse views against the backdrop of unprecedented global challenges.
This governance change comes after the death in late 2020 of Bill Gates Sr., Bill Gates’ father, an honorary co-chair, and a long-time, as well as the decision by Warren Buffett last year to step down as a trustee after nearly 15 years.
