Longtime Mercy Corps CEO Neal Keny-Guyer plans to resign Thursday, two days after an Oregonian/OregonLive investigation found that executives at the international relief organization allowed co-founder Ellsworth Culver to remain in a top role after his daughter accused him of serial sexual abuse.
Keny-Guyer, 65, has led Mercy Corps since 1994 and helped transform the organization into a preeminent humanitarian agency.
Multiple employees said they had been told Keny-Guyer was drafting his resignation letter.
