Amy Weaver, Chief Executive Officer
Direct Relief

Amy Weaver is Chief Executive Officer of Direct Relief, a global humanitarian organization that strengthens access to essential medical care for communities affected by poverty, disaster, and crisis. Working in partnership with more than 2,000 community health centers and free clinics across the United States, Direct Relief delivers medications, medical supplies, emergency funding, and operational support to safety-net providers serving patients regardless of ability to pay.

Weaver assumed the CEO role in May 2025, bringing a career that spans global finance, law, and public service.

Prior to joining Direct Relief, Weaver served as President and Chief Financial Officer at Salesforce, where she helped guide the company through a period of significant growth and transformation. Over nearly 12 years, she also served as Chief Legal Officer and led global functions including communications, ethics and compliance, corporate development, and accessibility.

Earlier in her career, Weaver clerked for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, served as a legislative aide in the Hong Kong Legislative Council through the Luce Scholars Program, practiced law in Hong Kong and the United States, and held senior executive roles at Expedia Group and Univar Solutions.
