Born in Liverpool, England in 1951, Michael J. Elliott was a British journalist
and executive. He was the president and chief executive officer of the
anti-poverty advocacy organization, ONE. Awarded an OBE in 2003 for services to
journalism, Elliott previously held senior executive positions at Time
magazine, Newsweek, and The Economist.
Elliott, who attended Oxford University, became the President and CEO of ONE in 2011. He oversaw the organization's global operations.
In his five years leading the organization, Elliott recorded outstanding success as ONE increased its global footprint and saw its membership rise from 2 million to more than 7 million, of which 2.8 million are in Africa. Elliott also oversaw the successful merger of (RED) with ONE in 2012.

the year. He is much missed by his family, friends and colleagues around the
world.
