Hannah Kemp

Vice President, Impact and Growth

I am an explorer by nature. Prior to COVID, that meant exploring new parts of the world and trying the local cuisines. In the COVID era, I’ve made do by exploring the world through food and books — with each taking me to a new place and time.

As Vice President, Impact and Growth, Hannah oversees Surgo Ventures’ portfolio of partnerships, helping solve complex problems using data, AI, behavioral science, and systems thinking.  

She has more than a decade of experience working in public health and social impact having led projects related to strengthening health systems, HIV/AIDs, maternal and child health, reproductive health, and economic development in the U.S. and across low and middle income countries. 

Hannah’s career has spanned the private and public sectors, with stints at Deloitte Consulting’s Emerging Markets practice and U.S. Agency for International Development, and engagements around the globe, from Jordan to the Philippines to Tanzania. 

Hannah has a Master’s in Public Administration and International Development from The George Washington University, and a B.A. in History and Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of Virginia.
