Daniel Karam Toumeh

Daniel Karam Toumeh born on March 15, 1973, in Mexico City, has a BA in Economics from ITAM and holds a master's degree in Public Administration from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.

During the Mexican presidential campaigns in 2006, Karam participated as an advisor on proposals and speech for the PAN's candidate and eventual president Felipe Calderón Hinojosa.

In 2015, Hill+Knowlton Strategies named Karam President and Managing Director of H+K Mexico, as well as Latin America Public Affairs Practice Lead, as part of a strategic movement to identify key sectors in development [7].

Together with President Calderón and the head of the Ministry of Health, he took measures to prevent the spread of this virus, such as the cancellation of classes, mass events and the closure of restaurants.

All this experience allowed him to participate in May 2015 as coauthor of the book [9] The Mexican influenza and the pandemic that is coming next to José Luis Romo, Juan Lozano, Mauricio Ortiz, Roberto Albiztegui and Santiago Echevarría Zuno, published by Siglo XXI, in which he describes his experience at the head of the IMSS during the emergence of the virus, the management of the information, the coordination of health services and the decision-making for their combat.
