Siobhán Walsh

Siobhán Walsh is the Chief Executive of Goal, an Irish humanitarian aid agency that provides assistance in crisis-affected regions worldwide. Under her leadership, Goal has received significant funding from USAid, making it one of the largest recipients of US foreign assistance in the humanitarian sector. In light of a recent funding freeze imposed by the Trump administration, Walsh emphasized the critical role that institutional donors play in scaling life-saving responses to humanitarian crises. She has been vocal about the agency's efforts to secure waivers that allow continued operations in impacted areas, such as Syria, where Goal delivers essential services to millions of people in need.
