I am a seasoned international development leader with 17+ years of experience designing and managing large-scale MEL systems, departments, and third-party M&E portfolios in high-risk, complex environments. Expertise in developing and implementing research, monitoring, evaluation, and learning strategies to drive data-informed decision-making for multi-billion-dollar programs. Proven ability to lead mid-term and final evaluations, vulnerability and needs assessments, and impact studies—including perception surveys, baselines, and cluster evaluations—analyzing political dynamics and program effectiveness. Skilled in managing and training MEL teams in international and remote settings while ensuring alignment with donor requirements (USAID, DFAT, ADB, WB, EU). Strong track record in public-private partnerships, fundraising, and leveraging evidence to shape policy and programming across Africa, South Asia, and the Asia Pacific.
