Strategy grounded in operational reality.
Aaron Rabinowitz is the Founder and Principal of AYR Advisory Group. He works at the point where emergency strategy becomes operational: analyzing fast-moving crises, assessing field and partner capacity, designing response plans, moving medical assistance, structuring grants, and following implementation through the handoff from decision to delivery.
In global emergency health operations, Aaron coordinated across ministries of health, regional public-health institutions, UN agencies, health facilities, local nongovernmental organizations, and internal legal, finance, supply-chain, communications, and donor teams. His portfolio included outbreak response, conflict-related health needs, earthquakes, landslides, and wildfires across Africa, Asia-Pacific, and the United States.
Before founding AYR, he also led refugee logistics in Poland, Ukraine, and Greece and served as Chief of Staff in a national telepsychiatry company. Earlier trade-policy and geopolitical research roles built the analytical foundation he now applies to partner diligence, market access, risk, and decision-making under uncertainty.
