Gates Foundation seeks Europe growth with hire

The Bill & Melinda Gates foundation has appointed a European head as a newly created position, as the charity seeks to grow its European presence.

Joe Cerrell starts as head of the European office in London in January 2010. He is currently the foundation's director of global health policy and advocacy.

"Expanding our work in Europe is an important priority for the foundation, and we're very pleased that Joe will be leading this effort," said Bill Gates, co-chair of the Gates Foundation.

Cerrell has worked at the Gates Foundation since 2001 and was previously assistant press secretary to former US vice president Al Gore where he worked on energy and environmental issues.
