Natsios officiated at the swearing in ceremony for Tim Beans, who assumed the office of Regional Mission Director for the Southeast Asia mission which includes the countries of Burma, China, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam.
His responsibilities will include the management of programs across the region in those countries which do not have a permanent USAID Mission office. These programs include improvement of government, increased programs to fight HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases, promote cleaner cities and better environmental practices and provide assistance to migrants and victims of trafficking in persons.

Prior to this assignment, he was the Deputy Chief Procurement. Beans held various contracting positions for USAID, including such places as Honduras and West Bank/Gaza.
