Mann Global Health

What Mann Global Health does

Mann Global Health is a private, founder-owned global health consultancy headquartered in Washington, DC and operating as an LLC. Founded by Chastain Mann around 2011, the firm deploys roughly 40 associates and senior associates, each with 15 or more years of international public health experience, to deliver project-based advisory services to NGOs, donors, foundations, pharmaceutical companies, and agenda-focused associations. It generates revenue through professional services fees on custom, quote-based, typically multi-year consulting engagements.

The firm is organized around five interconnected practice areas: Market Development (value chain analysis and market shaping for health products in low- and middle-income countries), Organizational Strategy (strategic planning and organizational development), Behavior Change and Marketing (social and behavior change communication and brand strategy), Fundraising (donor intelligence and business development support), and Technical Support (program design, operational support, and programmatic review). It also produces a growing library of reusable frameworks and tools, including the Condom Planning Package, the Brand and Marketing Best Practices Framework, country-specific condom landscaping reports, and donor funding landscape analyses.

The go-to-market model is relationship-led, with content marketing (website, downloadable resources, LinkedIn, mailing list) used to generate top-of-funnel awareness among global health practitioners. Geographic coverage is concentrated in Sub-Saharan Africa but extends across Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Latin America, with 20 or more countries of direct consulting experience. The firm serves marquee clients including Management Sciences for Health, PSI, Jhpiego, the African Society for Laboratory Medicine, Development Media International, The Aurum Institute, Audere, Tiko, DATABOOM, and ViiV Healthcare, with donor relationships spanning the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, USAID, The Global Fund, and CIFF. Mann Global Health is not a technology platform; its competitive advantage rests on the domain depth of its associate bench and its embedded position within the global health practitioner ecosystem.
