Master's DegreeThe Johns Hopkins University

Summary

I have worked in international development with 15 years of experience and increasing responsibilities in political and economic risks assessment, project development in fragile and conflict states and strategy and operations planning. My thesis on fragile and conflict states, addresses drivers of conflict, legitimacy of government and economic access in disputed territories and/or post conflict-affect countries, and is an invaluable asset to understanding the confluence of factors that shape the business environment and contributes to economic recovery in fragile states. I have carried out sector research and analysis, as investment climate analyst in Peru, specifically looking at maximizing the role of private sector. At the World Bank, I have operational experience in integrating policies into projects and country partnership frameworks, and delivered results on the M&E of the ARTF portfolio in Afghanistan. My knowledge of World Bank projects, policies and processes is complemented by strong field experience, notably in Afghanistan. I have also engaged with both internal and external teams on the economic and political landscape for countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, Middle East and North Africa, South America, Caribbean, East Asia Pacific and South Asia Regions to strengthen client solutions. At USAID, I manage the Cameroon portfolio on preventing violent extremism, by tailoring interventions and strategies on stability and security, while placing greater emphasis on monitoring performance, evaluation, and measuring success for countering the narrative on violent extremism.
