From 2008 to 2016, Mr. Fairbank was the co-founder and managing director of Development Transformations (DT), where he oversaw and managed the organization’s governance, civil society, analytical research, and political transition programs throughout the Middle East, Eurasia, Asia, and Africa.

Prior to co-founding DT, Mr. Fairbank spent nearly a decade at the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI) where he worked to support civil society development, capacity building, democratic elections, political parties, parliaments, and civil service training in countries in transition. In addition to holding various positions at NDI’s headquarters, he worked for several years in the field directing programs in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Moldova, and Georgia. He served as NDI's first country director in Moldova, director of civic programs in Ukraine, acting director in Kazakhstan, and as an adviser to programs throughout the Eurasia region. Mr. Fairbank has conducted more than a dozen political and election-related assessments as a member of Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and NDI international delegations. His private sector background includes working for MPRI (Engility), where he was named their first director for democracy and rule of law. 

Mr. Fairbank was previously an adjunct professor at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service, where he taught a graduate course on political transitions.
