I am a globally minded executive fluent in English, French, German, and Mandarin, with a proven ability to manage large, multicultural teams and deliver results in diverse environments — from leading multi-million-dollar businesses across Asia-Pacific, to implementing high-impact donor-funded projects in some of the world’s most complex markets.
