CRDF Global Announces Opening of Southeast Asia Regional Office

CRDF Global has opened a new office in Manila in the Philippines, which will serve as the nonprofit organization’s regional hub for Southeast Asia. According to Tina Dolph, CRDF Global’s president and chief operating officer and a 4×24 member, establishing a permanent presence in Manila will expand the depth and impact of the company’s programs in the region.

Such programs are focused on international security cooperation, global health and economic development and international exchanges, CRDF Global said. The company works with governments in over 120 countries to help them address challenges related to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and high-yield explosives security; counterproliferation; global health; cybersecurity; strategic trade controls; and economic development.

Before opening the Manila office, headed by Regional Director Mike Byfield, the company hosted workshops aimed at enhancing cybersecurity and building digitally resilient communities. Dolph said CRDF Global distributed program responsibilities and leadership roles to its regional hubs over the past several years to enable global operations and improve how the organization supports its customers.
