The Board of Directors of Engineers Without Borders (EWB) Canada is pleased to announce that it has appointed David Boroto as Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective immediately.
David’s appointment comes at a pivotal time for EWB Canada as the organization navigates a changing, and challenging landscape for international development both in Canada and abroad.
Since January 2025, David has served as Interim CEO for EWB Canada, assuming the position after having served 5 years as Chair of EWB’s Board of Directors. David’s experience in the organization spans more than a decade, and includes having been a Chapter President and overseas fellow in Kenya and Uganda.
Beyond EWB, David holds a BASc in Engineering Science from the University of Toronto, and an MPhil in Engineering for Sustainable Development from the University of Cambridge. Previously he has worked in the private sector as an Infrastructure Advisory Consultant at Mott MacDonald, a global engineering consulting firm, and in the development sector as an Infrastructure Analyst with the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), the infrastructure and project management arm of the UN.
Interim Chair of the EWB Canada Board Dan Herman notes, “David’s breadth of experience across EWB, his work in the private-sector, and his organic ability to connect and engage with stakeholders make him a perfect fit for EWB Canada.”
As a Board we are thrilled that David will be leading the organization forward at this time of both challenge and opportunity. For  25 years, EWB has worked to enable systems change that focuses on addressing the root causes of poverty and inequality. At its core, our mission is to invest in people. David is a product of EWB’s investment in people and his selection as CEO confirms this ongoing and lasting impact.
Congratulations, David, and welcome aboard in this new capacity!
