Summary

A Seasoned Humanitarian Leader, driving Impact Across Borders With over two decades of hands-on experience at the forefront of humanitarian efforts, I've dedicated my career to making a tangible difference in the lives of those in need. Extensive Leadership Experience: With a 20-year journey in renowned international NGOs, I've steered program operations and driven transformative change. As a Senior Field Manager, I spent nine years orchestrating humanitarian field programs across diverse regions, honing my expertise in crisis response, strategic planning, and team management. A Proven Track Record of Success: From leading operations in Asia with Action Against Hunger (ACF) to spearheading initiatives as Chief of Party in Kenya and Mozambique, my leadership consistently delivers tangible results. As the Regional Operations Director for the Pacific at IPPF and Director of Awards in Lebanon with Save the Children, I've improved countless lives and communities. Global Perspective, Local Impact: My journey has taken me across borders, from coordinating responses in Liberia, Indonesia, Chad, and Sudan to recent endeavors in the Middle East. This wealth of experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of diverse cultures, contexts, and challenges, allowing me to navigate complex environments with agility and empathy. Looking for the Next Mission: In addition to looking for my next mission, I am eager to build on my experience by exploring opportunities for board and trustee roles in the humanitarian and development sector. Recently completing a diploma in Corporate Governance, I am well-equipped to contribute strategic insights and drive impactful change at a governance level. Let's Connect & Drive Change Together Let's connect and explore opportunities to leverage our collective expertise for lasting impact. Whether you're seeking seasoned leadership, strategic guidance, or passionate advocacy, I'm here to make a difference.
