Press Release

GMF Fellow David J. Kramer named new Freedom House Executive Director September 01, 2010


WASHINGTON (Sept. 1, 2010) – The German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) announces that David J. Kramer will leave GMF in October to become the new executive director at Freedom House, an independent organization that supports democratic change and advocates for democracy and human rights.

During his time as a fellow, David built on GMF’s work in the Eurasian region and wrote and spoke widely on the area’s most pressing issues. Prior to joining GMF, David worked for eight years at the State Department in various capacities, most recently as Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor. Before that, he was Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, responsible for Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, and Belarus affairs, as well as regional nonproliferation issues. He also served in the Office of Policy Planning and as Senior Advisor to the Under Secretary of State for Global Affairs.

Founded in 1972 through a gift from Germany as a permanent memorial to Marshall Plan assistance, GMF maintains a strong presence on both sides of the Atlantic. In addition to its headquarters in Washington, DC, GMF has six offices in Europe: Berlin, Paris, Brussels, Belgrade, Ankara, and Bucharest. GMF also has smaller representations in Bratislava, Turin, and Stockholm.
