Terry Mulligan is a director for Strategic Philanthropy's Environmental and Social Innovation team. As the director, Mulligan manages the day-to-day operations of the Prizes program at the Milken Institute.

Mulligan brings over 15 years of experience in social impact philanthropy, large-scale incentive prize development, and strategic planning. With a robust background in global initiatives, he scaled and co-managed the top-rated hotel in Tanzania's Kilimanjaro region, established an international health organization's first African branch to provide health care to underserved rural communities, managed community-based infrastructure development projects in Africa and South America, and served as the inaugural first-grade teacher and co-administrator of a school built for orphaned and disadvantaged children in Tanzania.

He then joined the XPRIZE Foundation, where he led the design and fundraising of large-scale global competitions that brought together entrepreneurs, researchers, programmers, designers, engineers, and philanthropists to develop new technology solutions to solve global challenges. His work involved overseeing prize competition development, leading discussions during sponsor negotiations, and managing research teams across all domains of XPRIZE's work. Mulligan's contributions significantly enhanced XPRIZE's capacity to develop and market prize competitions addressing global challenges, from climate and energy to health and biodiversity conservation.

Mulligan holds an MBA from Georgetown University and a Bachelor's in elementary education from the University of Missouri. He has been recognized for public speaking, serving as the master of ceremonies at XPRIZE Visioneering events, and leading workshops at the United Nations Climate Change Conference and Aspen Ideas: Climate. Mulligan is based in Washington, DC.
