Peter O’Driscoll Chair of the Board
Peter O’Driscoll has been executive director of Equitable Food Initiative since 2011, where he leads a multi-stakeholder collaboration to improve wages and working conditions for agricultural labor throughout the Americas. After earning a bachelor’s degree in history and literature from Harvard College and a master’s in economic development from Columbia University, Peter’s prior career covered advocacy, research and program management in several nonprofit organizations focused on humanitarian assistance, refugee relief and international food system reform. He lives with his wife Christine Reesor in Takoma Park, MD, where they raised two daughters.
