Ryan Altorfer (He / Him)

I am a global citizen – born in Chile, raised Swiss in the United States. I currently practice international development, but I am a person of many trades; but mainly, I provide resources to others. I’ve had the privilege of traveling the world and getting to meet the amazing people of different cultures and backgrounds and learning about context different from ours. This matched my academics in studying economics and emerging markets (at the time, the BRICS) and then work in international development (macroeconomic focus). As such, I continue to advocate for a bottom-up approach to development, including stakeholder engagement, capacity sharing, locally led development, civil society collaboration – some amongst the many others. I have served the private sector, implementing NGOs, and USAID with program management, operations coordination, knowledge management, executive support, and data analytics. I continue to learn and improve my capacity to serve any and all technical sectors in generating sustainable impact and continue to advocate for capacity building for those sometimes forgotten and along my path. Feel free to reach out any time.
