Citigroup's H. Allen Bouch and Stanford's Kuldev Singh, MD Elected to Glaucoma Research Foundation Board of Directors
SAN FRANCISCO, CA (July 2, 2007) — H. Allen Bouch, Managing Director of Citigroup Global Markets, and Kuldev Singh, MD, MPH, Director of the Glaucoma Service at Stanford University, were elected to the board of Glaucoma Research Foundation, GRF President and CEO Thomas M. Brunner today announced.
“We are deeply grateful to be able to attract this kind of top flight leadership to our board,” said Brunner. “There is an impending epidemic of blindness looming from glaucoma unless we can get ahead of it with research and education,” explained Brunner, “and people like Mr. Bouch and Dr. Singh who make this their top priority are essential to the ultimate success of our efforts.”
Brunner was especially appreciative of efforts both new board members have already made to GRF’s cause of speeding the cure and spreading the word. “Allen galvanized everyone’s efforts last year,” Brunner said, “to establish our first-ever benefit event which, under his co-chairmanship, exceeded all our expectations. He established our benefit as a ‘can’t miss’ gathering for leaders in the philanthropic, scientific, medical, business and social communities.” Based in San Francisco, H. Allen Bouch co-heads Citigroup’s West Coast investment banking business. Among other responsibilities, Allen manages many of Citigroup’s most important corporate relationships. He has a BA degree from Claremont McKenna College and an MBA degree from Duke University. Bouch and his wife, Lori, have three children and live in Piedmont, California.
“Dr. Singh has long been regarded as one of our regions leading glaucoma experts, and his efforts to help establish our new Silicon Valley chapter have been highly motivating,” Brunner said. At Stanford, Singh has served as the Director of the Glaucoma Service for 15 years. He served as one of four advising deans at Stanford from 2002-2005 and received the 2006 Franklin Ebaugh Award for advising medical students and service to the Stanford University School of Medicine. Singh received his medical degree from The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and a Master of Public Health Degree from the Department of Epidemiology at Johns Hopkins.
