*GLOBAL ALLIANCE FOR CLEAN COOKSTOVES NAMES DYMPHNA VAN DER LANS AS 
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER*

*March 19, 2018, Washington, D.C*. — The Global Alliance for Clean 
Cookstoves (Alliance) today announced the appointment of Dymphna van der 
Lans as its new Chief Executive Officer. Dymphna succeeds Radha Muthiah, 
who will continue to serve as a member of the Alliance Leadership Council.

Dymphna brings more than 25 years of experience managing and leading 
global development, energy, and climate initiatives in the nonprofit and 
private sectors. In her most recent role, she led international 
corporate engagement with the World Wildlife Fund’s Climate & Energy 
team. Previously, she worked with the Clinton Foundation as CEO of the 
Clinton Climate Initiative and has also served as the senior director 
for public policy programs at the German Marshall Fund of the United 
States.

“Dymphna is a dynamic and high energy leader with a commitment to 
tackling complex, interconnected issues,” said Kathy Calvin, head of the 
Alliance Leadership Council and CEO of the UN Foundation, which hosts 
the Alliance.  “Her extensive leadership and innovation in the nonprofit 
and private sectors match well with the Alliance’s market-based approach 
to solving one of the world’s most pressing issues. I am confident 
Dymphna will build on the incredible progress on clean cooking that 
Radha has led so ably.”

Dymphna, who will join the Alliance full-time on April 23, has served as 
the director of global renewables, infrastructure, and energy efficiency 
at a specialist investment banking firm in London, and also worked for 
seven years at BP, where her last appointment was as BP Alternative 
Energy’s director of distributed energy markets. Her native language is 
Dutch, and in addition, she speaks English and Chinese fluently and has 
conversation ability in both French and German. Dymphna has worked and 
lived in China, India and Kenya and worked with island nations in the 
Caribbean and the Indian and Pacific Oceans to support their transition 
away from polluting diesel fuels to renewable sources of energy. She 
holds advanced degrees from both Leiden University and the University of 
Beijing. In addition, Dymphna earned a Master’s in Business 
Administration from Rice University and is also a graduate from 
Dialogos, Leadership for Collective Intelligence, and the Kellogg School 
of Management’s Sales and Marketing Leadership Program.

“I am excited to join the Alliance, an organization that’s made 
tremendous progress on one of the toughest challenges of our time,” said 
Dymphna.  “It’s clear there’s no single solution to this complex issue – 
it’s going to take a whole systems approach. Together with our dedicated 
partners, entrepreneurs and donors around the world, I’m confident the 
Alliance can continue the momentum it has built and ultimately help 
achieve universal access to clean cooking solutions.”

Since its founding in 2010, the Alliance has raised significant global 
awareness and engagement around this issue, with more than 1800 active 
partner organizations, enterprises and governments working on clean 
cooking. The Alliance has also helped drive the research, standards 
development, and innovation that are improving both the quality of 
stoves and fuels available to the consumer, as well as the new business 
models that are ensuring affordability and distribution to all who are 
in need. Through joint communications and advocacy, the issue of clean 
cooking is now firmly entrenched in dozens of country climate plans and 
within multiple Sustainable Development Goals.
