About David Miliband

President and CEO of International Rescue Committee
Former UK Foreign Secretary
Advocate for humanitarian relief and refugee assistance
The Rt Hon David Miliband is the President and CEO of the International Rescue Committee (IRC), where he leads humanitarian relief operations in over 40 war-affected countries and refugee resettlement programs in 29 cities across the United States. His extensive experience in international relations and commitment to humanitarian causes make him a significant voice in addressing global crises.
As the son of refugees who fled to Britain during World War II, David possesses a unique understanding of the challenges faced by displaced individuals. This background fuels his dedication to the IRC's mission of aiding those uprooted by conflict and disaster. Under his leadership, the IRC has enhanced its capacity to respond swiftly to humanitarian emergencies, implementing a global strategy that emphasizes evidence-based outcomes and collaborative partnerships.
Before joining the IRC, David served as the 74th Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in the United Kingdom, where he championed human rights and represented the UK on the global stage. His earlier role as Secretary of State for the Environment saw him introduce the world’s first legally binding emissions reduction requirements, highlighting his commitment to addressing climate change.
David's academic credentials include a first-class honours degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from Oxford University and a master’s degree in Political Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he was a Kennedy Scholar. His contributions to public service have earned him recognition as a leading advocate for the world's most vulnerable populations.
In addition to his leadership at the IRC, David is the author of "Rescue: Refugees and the Political Crisis of our Time." He lives in New York City with his wife and two sons, continuing to influence discussions on humanitarian issues and global policy.
