Professional life
Prior to founding GHF, Morgan worked as an international sales and marketing executive in software and network computing, including at Hewlett-Packard and Sun Microsystems. He traveled extensively during this time, and lamented that in regions where increased tourism revenue could potentially yield the greatest benefits to local communities, there seemed to be a disregard for cultural heritage conservation. He founded and was CEO of Rad Media in Palo Alto in 1995.
Morgan founded GHF in 2002, and since then, the organization has raised investment of over $40 million and secured $28 million in co-funding for 16 global heritage sites to ensure their sustainable preservation and responsible development. The organization, which works exclusively in the developing world, currently has conservation projects in Cambodia, China, Colombia, Guatemala, India, Iraq, Laos, Libya, Peru, and Turkey. Morgan left GHF in 2007.
Until 2015, Morgan served on the advisory board of the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research (SIEPR).
