Allen Tullos
Manager, Deloitte | USAID CLA Advisor, Deloitte
Tullos is a conflict strategist who brings the analytical precision of Deloitte consulting to environments where the stakes are measured in human lives, not quarterly earnings. As CLA Advisor on USAID's Ukraine Health Reform Support activity, he integrates adaptive management practices and feedback loops to improve activity design in a wartime operating environment — restoring the health system and reconnecting people to care. His career bridges film production, political organizing, conflict analysis, and international development — a multidimensional mind that sees systems where others see chaos.
Narrative
Allen Tullos is a strategy professional who has spent a decade navigating the most complex operating environments on earth — from conflict zones in Lebanon to health system reconstruction in wartime Ukraine — applying the discipline of data-driven analysis to problems that defy simple solutions. A Brownsville, Texas native who started a film club at 16 with a $10,000 grant, interned at the BBC in London, directed Brooklyn get-out-the-vote operations for Obama, and consulted for the State Department on violent extremism in Tripoli, he now manages Deloitte's work on USAID's Ukraine Health Reform Support activity, integrating adaptive management practices to restore a health system and reconnect people to care in a dynamic wartime environment.
Tullos operates from the conviction that the most important analytical work happens in the most difficult environments — conflict zones, wartime health systems, post-peace-process transitions. His career reflects a belief that data-driven strategy is not a luxury of stable institutions but a necessity in the most unstable ones. He brings Deloitte-caliber rigor to environments where adaptive management is the difference between system restoration and system collapse.
